Guide experience

Certified in NOM 08 and NOM 09. I started working in tourism in 2006 as a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, worked for 7 years in contact with tourist in the Scuba Diving world, not only in México but also worked in a few countries around the world. After traveling and working abroad I realized how amazing the Yucatán peninsula is, and no one was offering activities related to nature, friends and family said that I should open a business using my local knowledge and expertise in the area. So in November 2013, we took the first official bookings. Since the beginning I had very clear what kind of business I wanted, a business that was not only focused on the amazing nature, history, culture or tradition that we have but also a business that cares about customers service, professionalism, good values and treats our customers as humans beings, not as numbers. We focus on private tours and make experiences in the interest of our clients.

Somos fotógrafos de aves y contratamos a Victor por los maravillosos comentarios que vimos sobre sus servicios. Pues créanme que la gente se queda corta porque es una persona especial y simpática que te muestra los rincones mas bellos de su paraíso Mahahual. Desde que llegas la alegría de nuestro amigo Victor nos contagio. A medida que íbamos hacia las ruinas Chacchoben, nos explicó y habló sobre el lugar y las aves que podíamos ver. El sitio es hermoso, la amabilidad y gentileza de Victor y todos los que nos atendieron fue estupenda. La cantidad de aves que pudimos fotografiar en el corto tiempo que estuvimos fueron maravillosas. Luego una parada donde comimos piña y tomamos jugo, otro spot donde vimos otras aves. Finalmente almuerzo a la orilla de la playa para terminar el maravillos dia. Yo voy a volver porque fue muy poco tiempo y con seguridad buscare a Victor para que nos guie en nuestros recorridos. Gracias amigo....maravillosa experiencia.

Victor sabe de todo sobre las aves y los animales, hasta imita los cantos de los pajaros de la zona, super interesante todo lo que conoce y sabe compartir sobre las leyendas de la zona, y los habitos de cada animal. Luego de adentrarnos en la selva (hay que darse un baño de repelente antes de salir) fuimos a comer en lo de un pescador en la playa, pescado que sacaron alli mismo del mar, a las brasas con salsa muy rica. Un hermoso dia. Victor nos impresiono con su simpatía y gran profesionalismo

We went on a birding tour with Victor and has a great time! He is a wealth of knowledge and made the day excellent. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn not just about wildlife, but also history and culture as Victor is also a certified historical guide.

We had a day to fill in at Mahahual (arriving at Costa Maya Port). Decided to talk to Victor. So glad I did. Excellent communication prior, and on the day we were delighted to have Victor, guiding us. We had a wonderful 5 hours or so. He is a bird expert, he knows where to find them, hears and identifies every bird song, and finds them quickly. He speaks excellent English, has good transport (Company car) and was very personable. He took us to several different sites looking for the birds that we had not yet seen. He was patient with my photography and was knowledgeable when discussing the birds with my husband. He came armed with guide books for us to confirm our sightings. Pricing was very reasonable for the service he provided. He obviously loves his work and his company is doing amazing things for the environment and community. We highly recommend this company not just for birding but for all its eco-tours. Thank you, Victor, for the best day's birding we have had from this cruise.
