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!

Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour

et me take you to my two favorite places in Mexico, the perfect combination for connecting with Mayan culture. Tulum is a magical place, perched on a cliff above the Caribbean Sea and built to face the sunrise. What makes Tulum truly special is the chance to swim beside a Mayan city—an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Next, we’ll visit Cobá, where you can climb the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán, Nohoch Mul, for stunning views. I love that we can explore the site on bikes or Mayan taxis, surrounded by jungle and learning fascinating Mayan stories along the way. We’ll also visit a beautiful cenote deep in the Mayan jungle. To wrap up the day, we’ll enjoy a traditional Mayan meal, prepared by a local family. This tour is full of unforgettable cultural experiences and memories you’ll cherish!

Diego was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. I would strongly recommend him as a private tour guide.

My husband and I booked a private tour to Tulum and Coba. I am a historic preservation architect that serves on UNESCO International Scientific Commitees. I am particular... Diego was amazing. He knows his history, culture, and archaeology. I so appreciate a guide who can give accurate facts (not the half-truths of so many tour guides) and place what you are seeing in context. He was so enjoyable, and Eric, his driver, was great. These guys work hard and put in a long day. Highly recommend

Diego and Eric are awesome! They really went above and beyond to make our tour a special memory me and my kids will never forget. Everything was so easy and taken care of. They are the best! Thanks guys for a priceless memory. Roger

There's a reason why Diego is the highest rated guide in the Yucatán Peninsula. Diego is not just a guy off the street offering tours. He studied and specialized in Mayan culture in school. This makes the tours very informative. But it isn't all dry information. Diego and his driver Eric make it fun and entertaining too. Loved our visit to Tulum and Coba. Lunch at the home of a Mayan family was delicious. No crowds at the cenote. Eric was a very safe driver. I highly recommend Diego.

We had a fabulous day visiting Tulum, Coba, lunch and a cenote. Diego was very informative, friendly and very helpful accommodating my elderly mother. It was such a special day so thank you.

Unbelievable trip! Diego is literally an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to Mayan culture. Our tour was incredible. Hopefully you're lucky enough to visit Manuel with Diego, his cooking was by far our best meal. We finished our trip in a local Cenote after a Shaman cleansing. An experience I'll remember forever. Thank you to Diego and our wonderful driver Eric, my family was well taken care of by you two. Can't wait till our next tour with you!!
