Saúl as a terrific guide, from pre-trip communication and planning through the day's activities. There was a separate driver for the van. Saúl was a very knowledgeable guide at the Coba archaeological site. He taught us how to say hello and thank you in the local Mayan language. He took us to a house/restaurant in a small village where we learned to make tortillas before eating a delicious lunch. We saw spider monkeys. And he showed us the brave way to jump from a high ledge into a cenote! A great day!

Luis and Saul were THE BEST! We had a great day with the guys enjoying the sites at Coba, local restaurant, and the Mayan community where we had great adventures rappelling into the cenote, zip lining and canoeing! It was our own private tour, so laid back and full of fun adventures at the same time. The guys were easy to chat with and we will definitely do another adventure with them in the future!

The finest private we could ever get, easily passing excellence. This is a small business, not some tour where you are just a ticket calling 1-800 numbers. Saul and Luis were in control, always looking for ways to make your time with them better. And clearly they care about the local communities. Easy contact before to vary a couple of details. Very friendly and funny. As for this particular trip - Coba is great to see - real sense of history and does not feel like the big toursit Chichen Itza site. Perfect alternative and without the crowds and groups of 20 all over the place. You get to see a large site that is barely developed so you can see how the city was, but also how the jungle has taken over (need to rent bike or pay for a bike guy to drive you - or you can walk about a mile). Then the jungle part was fun with the short canoe and zip lines. But, the HIGHLIGT of the trip was repelling into this beautiful Cenote, again with no crowds. (Actually, we were the only ones there - but I doubt it is ever crowed.) You drop in by rope through a hole in the roof (scary to look at it, easy enough to drop in). Then take your time floating in a tube - magical. One of the most spectacular things we have even seen. Note, doing these tours privately lets you do this at whatever pace you want. Drive was comfortable and if you want to do it, then it is unavoidable 2 hour drive from Cancun, as all the sites are. Lunch was good and authentic.

Saul was an amazing tour guide for our group of 12 friends. He is very knowledgeable and knows the history of the area. He took us to Coba and seemed to know everyone around. Our group explored the area by bicycle, bicycle limo, and walking. Our group asked many questions and Saul always seemed to know the answer. The tour van was newer, reliable, and had great air conditioning. Saul was sociable and fun. He took us to a great place for lunch where we had authentic Coba cuisine. We felt very safe with Saul and I recommend any tour with him. I will scheduling again with him the next time we come back to Cancun!!

Incredible experience! Saul and Louis gave us the best private VIP tour that we could ask for! Saul is been doing this for 15+ years apparently and everyone knew him during our stops! Which gave us that little extra special treatment on all sides!! He was also very knowledgeable to even the most difficult questions that I could come up with and always recommend great spot for pictures! I give this one a A+! Just exceptional!

Saul was amazing!!! He know everything!! He gave us a geological history, archaeology history, cultural history of Mexico! He was super accommodating even stopping at the grocery store to pick up some Mexican treats! We had three young kids with us and he always made sure we were going at a good pace and breaks when needed!! And an amazing local “real” Mexico tour!

This was by far one of the best tours my wife and I have ever been on. Saul was easy to connect with and was waiting for us at our hotel lobby. From the moment we met him, I knew we were going to have a great time. He is a great person and makes you feel very comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Mayan people, history and culture. Our first stop was Coba, were Saul explained and guided through the very large Mayan city. We rented bikes, which I highly suggest. Next off to the jungle, were we saw spider monkey's and met the most a people who assisted with the tour. We did a zipline, a canoe, and repelled into a cenote. What an amazing experience. Saul was by our side the entire time and took good care of us, always willing to take a picture, share a story, or a funny story. AFter swimming in the Cenote we were off to lunch at a traditional Mayan home with a home cooked meal. If you have never experienced this type of experience , it is a must. Wonderful traditional food and warm welcome. It was like we were touring with a good friend, which made the experience even better. We will definitely return and with out a doubt we will tour with Saul again. If you want a truly memorable experience choose Saul

Fabulous day with lots of variety. Saul’s enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humour made it exciting and interesting.
We started off at Coba, where he gave us loads of info. Then on to our walk through the jungle following a blessing from the local shaman. Kayaking on the beautiful lake and zipline over part of it. Great time in a beautiful cenotes which we were lucky to have all to ourselves. Fantastic home cooked food with a local Mayan family and an unplanned bonus visit to a organic fruit and vegetable garden.
Throughout the day Saul was always very flexible and willing to do whatever we wanted.
Saul really cares about the community he is working with and is striving to ensure that they are treated fairly and with respect whilst offering travellers an authentic experience.
