Welcome to Mexico! I'm thrilled that you've chosen to explore this cherished corner of the world that I hold so close to my heart. Originally from Mexico City, I've spent over 18 years immersed in the Cancun and Riviera Maya region, including Playa del Carmen and Tulum. For the past 16 years, I've worked as a dedicated tour guide, starting with local adventure and culture tours. This journey has led me to connect deeply with the Mayan communities, learning from their wisdom and traditions. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of guiding countless travelers—though I've lost track of the exact number. But one thing I can confidently say: I adore this profession. My exploration extends beyond these coasts. I've journeyed extensively across southeastern Mexico on overland tours spanning 10 to 15 days. Traveling from Mexico City to Playa del Carmen, I've traversed Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, and the entire Yucatan Peninsula—my specialty. What I truly love are private tours. As for sales pitches, that's not my forte. But rest assured, we're destined to have a blast. We'll dive into cenotes, master the art of crafting corn tortillas, ascend ancient Mayan temples, learn from original cultures, and even grasp a few phrases in the Mayan language. Expect jungle hikes, exhilarating bike rides, an abundance of photographs and videos, snorkeling through vibrant coral reefs, and tranquil boat trips through nature reserves—home to crocodiles, spider monkeys, howling monkeys, flamingos, eagles, and more. We'll explore renowned spots for capturing epic photos. I can't wait to share these experiences with you. Until then, take care and see you soon!

Welcome to a unique travel experience! I am Fernando Y, private tour guide. I’m excited to share how my passion for travel and local knowledge can make your experience unforgettable. 8 years ago, my love for México and my fascination with urban photography led me to become a tour guide. Each tour is an opportunity to explore and capture the unique essence of our cities and landscapes. As an experienced tour guide, my approach goes beyond the conventional. I pride myself on my ability to immerse visitors in the cultural richness of the places we visit, offering a unique and enriching experience. My method involves not only providing historical facts but also engaging in a deeper analysis of the design of ancient cities, particularly those steeped in antiquity like those of the Mayan civilization. To make a more complete and entertaining tour, I use digital visual media and maps. I consider myself a good photographer, you can always support on me to get the best photos, from the best angles. My success, you do not adapt to me, once I meet you at the beginning of the tour, I adapt to you.

My name is Alex! Around 12 years ago, I decided to embark on a life-changing adventure and transitioned from the world of architecture to the outdoorsy world of hospitality in the Riviera Maya. This shift allowed me to follow my heart's calling and explore my two greatest passions - history and nature. Through my work as a tour guide, I have the incredible opportunity to share the rich history and cultural heritage of this region with travelers from around the world. I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for history, culture, and the environment. I believe that by understanding our past, we can make better decisions for the future, and by cherishing and preserving nature, we can leave a positive impact on the planet for generations to come. As we venture through this amazing region, I will weave together captivating stories of ancient civilizations, and lead you to the mesmerizing cenotes that hold secrets of the past. Whether you are a fellow enthusiast of architecture or a nature lover eager to explore the wonders of the Riviera Maya, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we can uncover the region's hidden gems, and learn from its rich history.

Jeroen A.
Mexico
My name is Jeronimo (Jeroen). I'm Mexican and European. I studied economics with a specialization in International Management at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I have always been fascinated by Latin America. After my studies I worked as a consultant, entrepreneur and commercial director in Belgium, Brazil, The Netherlands, Guatemala, and Argentina. I have been active in humanitarian aid in Third World countries worldwide. I have travelled extensively to Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America. I have worked as a tour conductor in France, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Indonesia. Mexico is where I decided to stay twenty years ago. I started off with groups of 20 people with trips of 28 days from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and back to Mexico. After this I switched to trips of 21 days visiting the same countries. After having visited each archaeological site over 60 times, each time with another local guide, I decided to study Mexican History and Archaeology, inspired by some of the local guides who told the tourists that the Mayas landed from Mars in spaceships. I am specialized in Maya culture. Working with people and showing them different cultures is what fascinates me. In 2004, I started off with the big tour companies like TUI and Thomas Cook, who commercialized the trips from 28 days and reduced it to 12 days. I did that for 10 years, after which I went on as a private tour guide/driver for small groups. I offer private day tours and multi day tours to all archaeological sites and nature parks transportation included in English, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish.

“Excellent triop to Tulum & Coba”
We had a day trip with Jens today visiting Coba & Tulum. It was a wonderful experience & would recommend Jens very highly to anyone interested in exploring the Myan culture and Mexico. Our day started at 8.00am and we traveled by air conditioned mini bus to Tulum. The driver was superb, very friendly, very efficient. En route, Jens introduced us to Mayan hieroglyphics, explaining the system and meaning as well as the Mayan calendar. Hugely enriching. We then traveled to Coba where Jens sorted out a bicycle 'taxi' for us so we toured the ruins at leisure without having to walk much at all. Overall a wonderful experience We then stopped for what was an exceptional local buffet for lunch and finally a cenote to have a quick swim. Honestly, an excellent day. Very highly recommended!
