Saúl is outstanding, fun, engaging, and, most importantly, very knowledgeable. He tailors the entire experience to your preferences. If you’re looking for an in-depth tour with detailed insights, he will adapt accordingly. If you prefer a quicker overview, he can do that just as well. Above all, he truly listens to what you want. I highly recommend Saúl to anyone visiting the beautiful country of Mexico.

Saúl gave us an incredibly wonderful tour from Club Med Cancun to ChichenItza with lots of interesting history-which we wanted. Our group of 7-family from 30’s to 85 and he accommodated all our activity levels. Heat on site was hot/humid and he paced it well -worth the visit. The cenote was excellent-jumping in with a rope swing! Tacos was voted in for lunch/and we were invited into the back kitchen to make a corn taco. Very good with fresh ground corn meal. We really appreciated the excellent driving by Raymundo too-with over 2 hrs each way; and bringing cold water and snacks. Thank you Saúl! We highly recommend you for a fun trip with explanations that make those old stones on site tell their stories. Cheers! Karen Jim and the other family of 5 more

Saul absolutely crushed this tour! We had three little ones with us (ages 6mos., 3 years, and 5 years). They made all the accommodations necessary for everyone to have a great time; they were funny, knowledgeable, and so kind. They helped push strollers, carry bags, and chose a cenote that everyone could enjoy. We had so much fun, learned so much, and enjoyed such a delicious lunch. Highly recommend!

Saul is an awesome tour guide. We were a large group and he was very accommodating to our needs. We requested a custom tour and he made it happen. His knowledge of Mayan history is next level. Highly recommend him!

Saul was awesome. We did a private tour with him to Chichen Itza and couldn't of had a better time. All of our needs were not only met but he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I probably asked too many questions but he never seemed to get frustrated or slow down. Also one great thing is that Saul knows the places off the beaten path. He took us to a cenote and it was just us for hours. We used Saul 3 more times that week from fishing to a taco tour.
