View on Google MapsWe took this tour on the first day of 2026. It was perfect from start to finish. We're not native English speakers, but Paul explained everything in a way that was easy for our children to understand. Because it was a completely private tour, the timetable was very flexible and tailored to our needs, so we didn't feel rushed and felt very relaxed. We had wanted to try the cool Volkswagen for transportation, but this time we were tired from arriving in Cancun the day before, so we went with his Audi Q5. It was so comfortable that the whole family slept well in the car on the way back. Paul also took some amazing photos and videos during the tour for us. We're grateful for this wonderful experience at the start of the year. If you're looking for a great day in Cancun, this tour is definitely the right choice.
We booked our day tour with Paul after reading his reviews and he did not disappoint. The drive from our hotel to Chichen Itza was approx 2 hours, we had many questions which Paul answered, he is very knowledgable on Mexican culture and history, but the fact that Paul is such a personable guy made for easy conversation and the drive flew by. At Chichen Itza, Paul’s passion for history brought the Mayan culture to life, he is very knowledgable but did not just deliver ‘text book’ facts, and was keen to discuss different theories and opinions. He was happy to spend as much time as we wanted here and we appreciated the fact that we didn’t have to stick to an ‘itinerary’ and had time to explore the whole site. After our morning at Chichen Itza, we were ready to eat and from the options presented we ate at a local place that we would never have found without Paul, the food was traditional and soo tasty - we even had homemade juices, delicious and refreshing. Next onto the Cenote, what a beautiful place - it’s easy to understand why these were considered sacred places. We jumped, then used the rope swing and swam in the crystal clear waters. Again, at our own pace. We arrived at the town of Valladolid by late afternoon, Paul guided us to a fab ice cream parlour and as we strolled around the town with our refreshing ices, the locals were starting to gather in the town square, many accompanied with music and instruments. Once again, Paul guided us and commented on historical buildings and local traditions with enthusiasm. Throughout the day Paul took many photo’s, he has a great ‘eye’ and took fun ‘posed’ photos along with more casual reportage style photos which he shared with us at the end of the day - once back at out hotel for the evening we were surprised when he sent us a very professional reel of our day!! We had an unforgettable tour with Paul, the day really exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate in recommending booking with Paul. A few practicalities worth noting: Paul organised all entry tickets so we didn’t have to queue, allowing for more time at the sites. Pauls fluency in Spanish (along with other languages).

Our tour with Paul was easily one of the best parts of our trip to Mexico. Paul was a knowledgeable and engaging guide and displayed genuine enthusiasm in immersing us in the history and local community. He's also a wonderful photographer and we've received a diverse collection of photographs from the duration of our trip. We highly recommend Paul for anyone looking for a memorable and thorough experience of the locality.
We had a great experience with Paul as our tour guide. He led us through Chichen Itza and a local cenote, and was very helpful with food options and explaining the history along the way. Paul was knowledgeable and easygoing, never overbearing, and did a great job tailoring the day to what we wanted to do. He answered our questions patiently and shared insights about local life that really added to the experience. I traveled with my family, and we all felt comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable day, and we’d definitely recommend Paul!
We had a great time with Paul, who expertly walked us through the ruins at Chichen Itzá, patiently answering our questions and taking some wonderful photos throughout the day. Additionally, as vegetarians, we were delighted by his efforts ensuring we had a variety of food options throughout the day.
We are SO happy we booked a private tour with Paul — honestly, it turned out to be the best decision of our trip! Since we only had one full day in Cancun, we were a little nervous about dedicating the whole day to one tour, but wow… it was more than worth it. Paul is passionate, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explains history in a way that’s not just interesting, but human — like listening to a great storyteller rather than reading from a textbook. His experience gives him a unique perspective, and you can truly feel how much he cares about the culture, the people, and the places he shares. On top of that, Paul has the soul of a creative photographer — he found fun angles, suggested poses, and turned simple moments into cinematic memories. We now have some of our favorite travel photos thanks to him! And the food… oh my goodness. He introduced us to authentic local flavors we would have never found on our own — including a real Mayan kitchen. That alone felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. If you’re thinking about booking this tour: do it. Paul didn’t just guide us — he made us feel welcome, cared for, and connected to this place. We’ll remember this day forever.
Paul was absolutely fantastic. We had 2 separate tours with Paul, his Cancun food tour & the Chichen Itza, Cenote tour. Both were absolutely brilliant, Paul’s knowledge and style of touring was very interesting. He had kept all 7 of us interested and with some well timed food stops at some absolutely amazing local restaurants. We had a fantastic time, would highly recommend

We had an incredible private tour with Paul. Paul was extremely kind, knowledgable, bilingual (dare I say quad-lingual?) and welcoming host/tour guide. He helped us really get a more in depth understanding of the Mayan Historical sites, as well as giving us an authentic Mexican experience in through the rest of the Yucatan with an amazing lunch, cenote, and stop in the beautiful town of Valladolid. A MAJOR surprise for us we did not expect but was a win for us were the numerous pictures he took and gave to us on this trip, as well a video he edited and sent at the end of the day after he got home. He truly goes above and beyond. He provided, water, towels, and even carried our purchases when doing a bit of shopping. We spent a 12 trip in Mexico and our day with him truly was a highlight of the trip. HIGHLY recommend his tours to make your trip to Chichen Itza memorable.
Paul didn't excellent job! He was very responsive and maintained contact before the tour. He was punctual, very friendly with a wealth of knowledge and fun interaction to matches friendly personality. His tour was very informative with the nice balance of history, physical activity, and fun I would recommend him to anyone!
