Welcome to Mexico !!! I feel great that you have chosen my "cute and dear Mexico". I'm from Mexico City, I have been in the area of Cancun and the Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen and Tulum) for more than 24 years. I have worked as a tourist guide for 20 years I started in a local company doing adventure tours and culture, I had the opportunity to live with the people of the small Mayan communities in the area and learn a lot from them, the truth is I lost the account How many travelers have I had during my career but something if I can tell you: I love this job. I have traveled all over the southeast of Mexico doing tourist circuits (overland tours) for 10 or 15 days with my travelers. traveling from Mexico City to Playa del Carmen through Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, and all of the Penisula de Yucatan (my specialty). I love private tours.

Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour
Docking in Cozumel and craving a taste of the Riviera Maya? Let me take care of you! My Tulum Express Shore Excursion is designed especially for cruise travelers. As soon as you arrive in Playa del Carmen (just take the ferry from Cozumel), I’ll be there to personally welcome you. From that point on, you’re in good hands—I'll handle your transportation, guide you through the incredible ruins of Tulum, keep you refreshed with cold drinks, and make sure we stay on schedule. We’ll explore the stunning clifftop ruins together, take amazing photos, and if your cruise timing allows, you’ll have the option to swim in a magical cenote or snorkel with sea turtles in Akumal. I’ll adapt the day to fit your available time, so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
