Welcome to Mexico! I am Diego a certified private tour guide in the Riviera Maya specialized in Mayan archaeology, nature and adventure. I was born and raised in Chiapas, Mexico, a place surrounded by natural beauties and indigenous communities. I remember that since I was a little child, I dedicated myself to explore the most beautiful corners of my country: rivers, waterfalls, archaeological ruins and climbing volcanoes. Now my job is to share these experiences with others and to raise awareness in preserving our natural resources. Life took me to many places, and 12 years ago I decided to move to Playa del Carmen looking for a relaxing life near the beach. It is beautiful to live here, surrounded by culture, cenotes and the most beautiful beaches of Mexico. Since I arrived here I have worked as a tour guide, a very noble work and I love it. I have guided tours to Mayan ruins, underground caves, Mayan communities, jungle tours with activities like canopy, rappel, ATVs, snorkelin and I had the opportunity to take the great travel writer Rick Steves on two amazing tours here in Riviera Maya! I have learned a lot about the Mayas, their flora, fauna, medicinal plants. I have even learned to speak their local language Maya Yucateco. Now I want to share all these life experiences with you through my private tours, taking you to unique places, giving you the best of the Mexican Caribbean in your next vacation!

Discover Ek Balam, one of the best-preserved Mayan cities, known for its unique architecture and stunning ancient carvings. I’ll guide you through the mysteries of its remarkable royal tomb and take you to the top of the pyramid, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Mayan jungle. Next, we’ll visit Valladolid, a colonial town shaped by history. Stroll its charming streets, admire authentic colonial-style architecture, and explore traditional Mayan handicrafts while immersing yourself in the local lifestyle. Food is an essential part of my tours! Indulge in delicious Mexican cuisine and regional Mayan dishes at the best restaurant in Valladolid, specially chosen to ensure an unforgettable dining experience. To end our adventure, we’ll cool off in the refreshing waters of a secluded cenote. Managed by a local Mayan family, this hidden gem offers a peaceful, authentic experience far from the crowds—a perfect finale to our journey!
This was a fantastic tour. We had Diego as the guide and a driver that took care of navigating and fuel, etc. Diego was great to work with and helped create a specific itinerary for what we were looking for. He responded well with messages and was a great/knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend!
Our guide Diego was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned so much about the ancient Mayans. Our tour was fun, relaxing, and went smoothly.
We had a great time on our tour with Diego. He is warm and very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the Mayan people. We definitely saw the Yucatán in a fascinating way and would absolutely recommend him.
This was our second tour with Diego and as usual, he did not disappoint. We had a fabulous time with him and learned a lot. Taking a private tour of this type is really the best in our way to experience it all without the crowds and discomforts that come with travel these days. It's also great to get a personalized experience and lots of wonderful information by a local expert such as Diego.
Diego is VERY knowledgeable and accommodating. He answered all of our questions, and took us everywhere we wanted to go. It was a very personalized experience. His tour was the highlight of our whole vacation.
