What a great day with Benjamin! Our family was extremely please with Benjamin's great personality, knowledge and sense of humor. He did a fabulous job conmmunicating before the tour, making sure everything was clear and certain...and then great client care in showing us the fantastic sites of Coba and Tulum Mayan ruins. He picked a fantastic lunch spot...not too touristy. Perfecto! He took care of all logistics, made the whole experience easy and so no question -- we'd use Benjamin again and recommend him to friends and family! Thank you Benjamin!

Highly recommend Benjamin for his knowledgeable, professional and enjoyable tour! Benjamin has a wealth of cultural and historical knowledge. We ended our day way smarter about Mayan culture and modern day Mexico than when we started, plus we had a great time! Booking a private tour meant we were able to stay as long as we wanted at our various stops, pick our spot for lunch and spend a little time shopping and poking around town. His car is super clean and he was very prompt. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.
