Brilliant tour!!! Joel was our guide and was superb. Engaging, knowledgeable and super passionate about his Mayan culture. Really brought to tour to life through a brilliant blend of sharing all the interesting facts about the site and sharing personal stories from his Mayan culture.
Joel is a fantastic guide, very passionate about Mayan history and culture. Worth joining this tour to learn about the Tulum ruins.
If you want a tour of tulum Joel is your guy! He was very personable and informative about his mayan heritage and the mayan culture of tulum.
Joel shared a wealth of information with us about the ruins but what was most important was the familial link and his heritage as a Mayan. The personal connection with him made for an amazing tour. Hearing how the Mayan culture shaped the region and that he and his family descended from a long line of Mayans, made the tour so much richer and more meaningful. Thanks Joel and we will definitely send friends your way!
Very enjoyable, personable tour! Had a good amount of background info but didn't overwhelm my teens with too much.
Joel was fantastic. He knew his history very well. It was truly fantastic to hear the history behind the ruins. Definitely recommend this tour of the ruins.
This was a great opportunity to learn a bit about the Mayan culture. The views were great! I want to leave a special shout out to Joel our guide who was a local with Mayan roots and was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. 10 out of 10 - would highly recommend especially if you can get Joel as your guide.
We loved the tour with Joel. He was so kind and INFORMATIVE! We learned so much about Mayan culture.
We did the private tour with our guide Rubén. We could not have been more impressed with his knowledge of the Mayan people and the ruins at Tulum. It was great to go at our own pace and have all of our questions answered. Great tour and request Runén!
This was a great experience. Joel is so informed, not only about the ruins, but about Mayan culture. He gave us a sense of what life was like when the temple wan inhabited. It was such a rich experience. Joel is also half Mayan so he was able to speak the language. I highly recommend it.
