Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour

Discover the beautiful view from the old Maya city of Tulum, built in front of the Caribbean Sea. Tulum was a commercial port of the Mayan postclassic period, an important producer of honey and salt in the region, it is the largest site on the eastern coast, the only one with an impressive view of the Caribbean Sea. This tours is designed to spend the morning on the site and the afternoon free. I like to start as early as possible trying to avoid the crowds , is a very different experience , I really love this place specially the history, I been working as a local guide there I really know every corner some of the legends that local guards tell me . You will love! Discover it!!!

Ce tour était plus que parfait. Fernando est très sympathique, tout au long du voyage en voiture.. nous avons discuté de son pays, de la vie au Mexique, etc.. etc.. c’était très intéressant. Arrive à tulum.. il c’est arrangé pour qu’on puisse prendre des photos sans qu’ils n’y ait pas trop de monde… les informations était claires et précise. Fernando parle un très bon français. Je referais affaire avec lui sans hésiter !!

We had a wonderful trip to Tulum. Fernando used to work here, so he is extra knowledgeable about the site. This site is really worth a visit as it is unlike other Mayan sites, this was an actual walled, functioning city with a lot of the residential buildings preserved. The ocean backdrop is also stunning! Thank you Fernando

Despite the very hot weather, Fernando made sure we did not miss anything at the Tulum ruins. He was an excellent guide, sharing with us information beyond what was available on the signs at the ruins, and the overall history of the Mayan people. Fernando also took great photos of us, and made sure we had these photos as keepsakes of this trip. I have participated in group tours before, and this private tour with Fernando was the smoothest one I have been on.

Fernando made the arrangements for our timing, pick up and tickets. The half-day tour with 4 children under 5 was effortless, he provides snacks, water, a fantastic informative walking tour, he was very popular and respected around the ruins by all which was great to experience. I'd recommend Fernando to everyone, we were very lucky to obtain him, by luck of the draw, it all worked out very well.Many thanks to Tours by Locals, and to Fernando. The 9 of us from Cincinnati, Ohio

Fernando was a wonderful guide. When we travel into a country, we like to have a friend in this country who can show us easily how to visit this country and where to find the nicest places. Fernando is simply like this: a friend accommodating all very well, speaking french, finding park places when there are none, knowing when and how to avoid the crowds, knowing the history of the sites, the good restaurants, bars, ... Fernando, I thank you to have made this tour a marvelous tour.
