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.
I work as a driver/guide with a Mercedes Benz V220D AMG Sports Model for 6 passengers + the driver/guide. I do private day tours and private trips of several days in the Maya World.

“One check off my bucket list”
I was wanting to check an item off my bucket list which was to get to the top of a Mayan ruin. Well Jeroen made this come true. we contacted each other and talked back and forth to customize a tour to two Mayan sites (Chichen Itza, Ek Balam) and was able to get to the top of Ek Balam and see what the world looks like over the jungle. The tour, the ride and the conversations never was boring or dry, only friendly and informative, he's a kind man with a good heart I would recommend this to all. D.
