“How many times in life will you have the opportunity to be given a tour of the gorgeous anthropology museum by a former professional la luche libre wrestler who is a very knowledgeable archeologist, funny, and who constantly speaks with the passion he so obviously has? One. One time. That time is now. This guy breathes this stuff and was so happy touring us through the museum. He’s also actually funny. If you have any reservations you can throw them aside. This guy was born for this.”

“We booked this last minute with no issues. Armando, our guide, was waiting for us at the meeting spot with a warm smile. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a great conversationist. As we walked, he gave us some history of Tulum and Mexico. The food spots were very good, there were vegetarian options at each place. Since our group consisted of just myself and my friend, we were able to linger a little longer at the stops and also stop at a few shops. Although it was hot, the walk was pretty good. I enjoyed this tour a lot.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
