Benjamin S was the best guide ever! He was very knowledgeable but didn’t feel the need to constantly bombard you. He was very flexible in where we wanted to go and always seemed to want to accommodate. His friendly and warm personality allowed for a very comfortable and educational experience. His car was very comfortable during the relatively long trip from Cancun to the beautiful ruins at Tulum. I picked Benjamin as a guide because of the other comments and well, a gut feeling, and I’m so happy i did. Thank you Benjamin! Tulum is incredibly beautiful. This is not the normal pyramid type tour. My nephew and niece had been to another tour and they found this to be superior, especially Benjamin as a guide. I overwhelmingly recommend Benjamin no matter which tour you are interested in he will make it a pleasure.

The last vestiges of the Mayans in the Yucatan Peninsula
Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour
The city of the stinking waters is one of the best and unforgettable excursions you have to do with your family and admire the last Mayan cities before the arrival of the Spaniards to our continent and the devastation of the prehispanic culture by the European barbarians. Here in Tulum, I will share with you my knowledge about the development of the mayan architecture, the adoption of rituals from other cultures far away from here that the mayas adopted in the funerary rituals. Many people including myself say is the most beautiful view from all over the Riviera Maya. In the market that the archeological site has, you can found handcrafts all over the México and in here the option to bargain is the best by far. Also to give you an idea of what to eat I will give you a try depending on what you like sweet or salty. Come over and make a great family memory of your stay in Mexico !!!

Great tour with Benjamin! He is very easy going and very knowledgable. Benjamin adjusted the itinerary to fit our schedule which included visit to Coba archeological site (highly recommend) and drop off on Tulum. Lots of interesting information and very nice to work with. Highly recommend.
We had a fantastic experience with Ben. He is friendly, funny and knowledgable. We learned more about the history and culture than ever before. He took us to a fantastic spot for breakfast and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. Could not recommend Ben more! There is no better guide to take you out on your Mexico adventures!
Benjamin is an extremely nice and flexible guide. I had to take a business call and we were able to manage the agenda so that I could take it in an air conditioned Starbucks! I told him I was a grumpy guy and he managed me very well! He was knowledgeable, calm and friendly. I highly recommend him.
Benjamin was one of our favorite tour guides. He is very knowledgeable of all the major Mayan cities and truly enjoys explaining the Mayan and Spanish history of the region. He adapts to ones historical knowledge level to gives enough detail to make the conversations interesting. We will hire Benjamin again when in the region to continue our Mayan explorations. The transportation was prompt and comfy with beverages in cooler, and Benjamin and our driver Miguel made every step of the journey a breeze!
I felt very happy taking the tour with Benjamin. He clearly has an enthusiasm to do what he does. If you're looking for a tour that takes you to A,B and C and take pictures to check it off your list this ia not for you. If you want to learn and appreciate and also take memories with you then this is the right tour. This tour also included everything so all you have to do is show up and enjoy! Ben is very punctual, attentive and speaks both English and Spanish on top of other languages! Thank you again!
