Tailor made fun experience in Riviera Maya (w/private transport) starstarstarstarstar

This tour was amazing! Just four of us in a mini-bus, with Saul as our tour guide. It was Saul's knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm that made this such a great trip. He made even the long drives great fun, and always had terrific suggestions on things to do and see and eat. The eight-day trip was focused mostly on Mayan archeological sites, and Saul had very in-depth knowledge about the history and the architecture. However, he was just as knowledgeable about other aspects of Mexican culture and culture and instilled a deep desire in us to return to this fascinating country. I will be recommending Saul as a tour guide to everyone I know, and hope that I have the chance to travel with him again.
