Another amazing private tour with Eli! - This was our second tour with Eli and he was amazing as ever! Eli has it all! A great sense of humor, great conversation, and a whole lot of knowledge about the history of the area! Eli provided a fun and educational day at Chichen Itza in a small private tour which is much better than one of those large tours with too many people on them. We can't wait to get back to the Yucatan and have Eli take us on another amazing adventure! Go on book a tour, you won't regret it!

Ahead of time - I had the pleasure of visiting Chichen Itza and learning about the Mayans and their history. Their games, alphabet, counting system, they were Mathematical geniuses. How their chose the name and profession of their citizens was mind boggling. I left thankful for the beautiful history lesson, thoroughly in awe of the Mayans and their structures and wishing I could have learned their language. We only recognize how much we need to cherish people and things when they are gone.

Five star private tour - My wife and I booked a day-long private tour with Eli and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly knowledgeable guide who cares about his work, his customers and the history of his country. Our tour took in Chichen Itza, Valladolid, a wonderful family restaurant and the magical Suy Tun cenote. Eli is flexible to your own pace and interests and great fun to spend a day with. Excellent value and would book again without hesitation.

Excellent - We have just returned from our excellent guided tour of Chichen Itza with Eli. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions with insightful comments and information. There was just my husband and I with Eli today and he totally personalised the tour for us, spending time telling us lots of interesting stories. If you are genuinely interested in Mayan history this tour is for you! Also, small touches made this tour such as Eli buying snacks and drinks on the way which were welcomed after the long morning! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Eli is the best - We booked a tour including Chichen Itza, a cenote and Valladolid. Everything was perfectly organized. We left Tulum at 6.30 am to arrive before the giant bus tours. As a result, we had almost access alone to one of the world seven wonders! Eli has an HUGE knowledge and shared a lot of very interesting information to us in a perfect English. We had a typical Yucatan lunch in very local restaurant by the road, which was very tasty. Then we visited a cool Cenote and Valladolid. In summary, if you ever want to book a tour, choose Eli ! He is very kind and professional and he adapted the tour to our needs - don't hesitate to check with him as he offers a lot of different tours. Sonia and David.

Best tour guide ever! - My boyfriend and I had the pleasure to go to Chichén Itza for a whole day with Eli. It was seriously the best money spent on the entire trip! Eli was super knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and a great story teller. From the second he picked us up at the hotel he made us feel very comfortable and we felt like we were going on a tour with a friend. Eli gets the warmest recommendation from us! We will definitely book with him next time we go back to Tulum!
