Perfect Experience

Edward_S, May 2026

Wow…….Rodrigo really knows his stuff! I was pretty much ignorant of Mayan culture until this trip and Rodrigo personalized it beautifully. Lunch was absolutely perfect!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your private tour with Rodrigo so much, and we hope to see you again for another adventure!

The best part of our trip! Amazing experience

We had an amazing day with Rodrigo! We cannot recommend him enough. The fun began immediately when we were greeted with his enthusiastic smile and excitement. His passion for the Mayan culture and Mexico is contagious. The information he shared with us was fascinating. Be sure to add this tour to your bucket list! When we return we will only be booking tours with Yucatán Eli Tours with a special request for our new amigo Rodrigo! By the way, his hidden talent is photography! He captured our tour through photos that will be cherished for a lifetime!

Rodrigo was a great tour guide. He took fantastic personalized care of us throughout the day. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Seeing the ruins while receiving great information about the culture and flora and fauna was a one of a kind experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of Tulum ruins & Coba ruins - highly recommend!

Shannon_S, Feb 2024

Eli was a fantastic guide for our tour of the Tulum ruins and the Coba ruins. He was friendly and knowledgable and patiently answered all of our questions. Not only did we learn a lot, but we had fun doing it. A highlight for us was riding bikes through the jungle at the Coba ruins and seeing spider monkeys in the trees above us! Lunch was fantastic and included in the cost of the tour. For us, a private, personalized tour is well worth it!

Eli is incredible and it was our best day of our trip. I learned so much about the Mayan history and culture. The Mayan lunch was incredible and I can’t recommend more highly.
