Our family of 5 recently took a private tour with our guide Pepe and driver Moises. Though it was based on a recommended tour route, Pepe and his team were... read more very flexible with our desired route and things we wanted to see. We went to Ek Balam, then Mayapan, then stayed the night at a hotel near Uxmal. We saw Uxmal on the morning of the second day. The plan had been to go next to Kabah, but it was closed and we didn’t find out till the last minute. Also Dzibichultun near Mérida was closed, so we spent a nice few hours in Mérida for some shopping. Then a late lunch at Izamal to climb a pyramid in the town and see the convent there before powering it back to Puerto Morelos. All of us were impressed with Pepe’s knowledge about not only the Maya civilizations (which I myself already knew a lot about, and he taught me a lot!) but other local history as well. The way he integrated these stories into the trip was amazing. Also, engaging questions with him brought out even more. For those wondering, Pepe speaks absolutely perfect English. Not only that, but he set up our hotel, all of the admissions to the sites, and restaurant reservations at authentic places with local cuisine. He and Moises made it a special and customized experience for us, down to the side of the road stops for smoked meat and pitaya (dragonfruit). I can’t recommend this group enough. We will absolutely be back for another customized adventure to see more things. …

  By far the best Mayan History tour Ive ever been on (this is my 4th one). Louis and Max were incredible hosts and took care of our every need.... read more Pepe (who I worked with online) was very quick to respond to my questions. All I needed to to do is ask and Pepe took care of it. This group/company/people are amazing. You'd be foolish to book with any other group. Ask about private tours, as well. Everything I do from now on (when in Cancun) is through Special Mayan Tours! A+++++ rating!

  We spent 5 fantastic days with Manuel and his friend. The trip was a birthday gift for my wife and it was a truly amazing experience! Manuel was well prepared... read more and packed us with insightful information on every archeological site. Our guides were super friendly, helped us adjust our route on the way and suggested many side activities which were unforgettable (such as swimming with turtles in cenote close to Tulum and visiting another deeper cenote on the way back which was hidden from the typical tourist routes). After the trip we felt like we really learned few things about Maya culture, which school books don't teach us.
