Hi, my name is Raul, I am a native of the Yucatan and I am married with 2 kids. Since I was a young kid I have always loved history, languages and I think of myself as a very service oriented person. It is working as a tour guide that I feel fulfilled. I have a bachelor degree in hospitality and business management and I have been working in the tourism industry since I was in high-school. I am a certified tour guide since 2009 and I guide tours in Spanish, English and French in the whole of the southeast of Mexico. During my training to become a licensed guide I was guided around all the Mayan archeological sites of the Yucatan state by the archeologists who were on those years in charge of the restoration of those sites, I am also a member of a continuous education program focused on Mayan archeological sites of Mexico which is provided by the University of Yucatan (UADY) in agreement with the Tourism Bureau of the state (SEFOTUR). In 2018 I was awarded as the tour guide with the best reviews from clients by one of the best mexican travel companies and I have 10 year experience working for high-end british travel companies. Among the subjects I master and I am passionate about are: the ancient Maya civilization (I am a Mayan person myself), the unique natural formations of the Yucatan called "cenotes", the old colonial architecture of Mexico, the old sisal fiber plantations of the Yucatan and the common habits of the most common birds that come to the Yucatan peninsula to nest or to rest during their migrations from the north of the Americas to the south of the Americas. If you come to Progreso in a cruise ship I cannot pick you up at the cruise ramp but I can meet you at the LIGHTHOUSE of Progreso which is located right outside of where the cruiseship shuttle drops you off.

Overview of your Merida tour

We will visit Chichen Itza, one of the most fascinating and sophisticated ancient Maya cities which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage. We will get there when they open so we can be among the first people to go in and once we are in I will do my best to show you why Chichen Itza has been declared a New Wonder of the World. After our tour of Chichen Itza we will stop for a refreshing swim in one of the thousands of crystal-clear water cenotes located in the area (cenotes are natural formations that are unique of Mexico). Swimming in a cenote is considered one of the things we have to do in our life time according to the list "The one hundred things we have to do before we die". If by the end of these 2 activities you still have any energy left I will take you to one of the magical towns of Mexico called Izamal, where houses are painted in colors yellow and white.
