We had a wonderful day with Kat visiting Ek Balam and the surrounding area! Learned a lot and enjoyed good food and company, and zero crowds. The whole day felt private. Comfortable transportation with snacks and cold drinks. Definitely recommend!

Kat and Benji took such good care of us today on our Coba tour. Kat is super knowledgeable and made the day so interesting. Finishing the day off at a cenote was the cherry on top. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

Wow, what an amazing experience and the tour guide was just wonderful. Her name was Kat and if you get her you are in for a treat, she speaks Russian English and Spanish and is very sweet. We swam in a beautiful cenote!! Took us to a wonderful place for tacos. She also took us to see lots of iguanas Also too. We learned a lot of wonderful history about the area and we got to swim with the turtles, which is really special we highly recommend it. We loved every minute.

Excellent Private Tour with Custom Tour We booked with Custom Tour for our last minute getaway to Tulum. We wanted to see Chichen Itzá, Ek Balam, do some shopping, have a great lunch, and do a tequila tasting. We were hoping for a great tour, and boy did we get it! Excellent!!!As soon as we booked online, we had constant communication with the owner Rod. He kept us informed if there were any change. After we arrived at the resort we received an email letting us know what time the pick up was and who our guide was. Our guide was Limbert, who was awesome! This guy was super knowledgeable with everything in the area, especially with the Mayan culture. We actually learned a lot, this wasn’t the typical tour guide that had to look up information or tried to rush us. Everything we asked, Limbert was able to tell us why or give us a reason. I can’t say enough about Limbert, super friendly, clean vehicle, air condition, cold bottle water and cold fresh face towels!! Not if, but when we come back with family we will definitely book with them again!

Chichen Itza The tour was great, the best price and communication, I was picked up on time an arrived 30 minutes before the opening and were the first people to enter. The guide Limbert was very knowledgeable and took me all ove the site which too almost 2 hours. Overall the best experience, the car was also very nice and modern.

My favorite tour An amazing experience. Wonderful experience for our whole family. Couldn’t recommend this company enough. Everything was perfect and the restaurant was also very good. Everyone enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear cenotes, cliff jumping and zip lining. 10/10

Tulum adeventure! wWe had the most fantastic day with Kat from custom tours today! The weather was dismal and it rained with thunderstorms but Kat marched on with us in tow…through the beautiful Tulum ruins! We walked, we heard stories from Kat, we waddled through the rain drops and still managed to have an fun and adventurous visit of the ruins by the beautiful Caribbean sea!Then we headed off to see the Ven a la Luz sculpture by Dan Hopper. It was in a small outdoor park by itself with a few other sculptures by up and coming local artistes. It was breathtaking!! Definitely glad we got this in! Even better, was the beautiful Haagan Daas ice cream shop in the sculpture park! It was such a refreshing treat after Tulum!Then we headed off to an exhilarating time zip lining, kayaking and then cliff diving at an open air cenote! The rain made it even more adventurous and we had such a great couple of hours!By this time, we were absolutely famished! So the walk through the Mayan village was welcoming as we headed for a nutritious and delicious Mayan buffet style lunch prepared by the local Mayan families that live and work there. The handmade soft corn tortillas were to die for as well as the local dishes like phuc chuc (pork chops), pibil (pulled meat) and relenos (black beans)….we polished these off with freshly made churros and marquisitas! The hibiscus tea was so soothing to cleanse our palates with before the final treat of a hot Mayan chocolate drink!Well nourished and eager to continue our adventures, we next headed to Akumal beach. It was a little crowded but after a quick change into our swimsuits, Kat and our local guide took us deeper into the ocean so we could snorkel and sea better. So many turtles!!! Our family thoroughly enjoyed swimming and filming with the sea turtles…it was such a fun experience! Kat followed us around with her underwater goPro snapping away as we were busy making memories!So sad to say goodbye but we are finally exhausted enough to want to get home for a hot shower and warm, fresh clothes!Hilberto was kind enough to drive us around and wait for us patiently as we engaged in our activities and always greeted us back with refreshingly cold bottles of water, which were much appreciated! He too was highly knowledgeable and took great care of us all.Kat is an exceptional and experienced guide and has a great sense of humour and adventure so for us, was the perfect package in a tour guide! We couldnt have done so much in one day had it not been for her planning and guiding!Thank you to Rod for helping me organize this with his prompt and courteous replies and all via email!Money alone cannot buy you the adventures and experiences that we did with Custom Tours with so much peace of minf and ease of booking! Thank you so much Kat, Hilberto and Rod for our precious tour of Tulum snd a day full of adventures! 🙏❤️❤️❤️If you are planning for Tulum, don’t hesitate …just drop Rod an email and pack up for your adventures ahead!

Fantastic day trip to Chichen Itza My partner and I took a tour to Chichen Itza with Limbert and had an amazing time! Limbert was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything! Including history, culture, iconography, scripts/languages… After an extremely informative and entertaining tour of Chichen Itza, we stopped and had a fantastic meal with fresh tortillas at a local restaurant in Valladolid. Was an excellent experience.

¡Un tour inolvidable gracias a Rod y Limbert! Tuve la fortuna de vivir una experiencia única con el servicio de custom tour ofrecido por Rod, el propietario, y Limbert, nuestro guía turístico. Desde el primer momento, la atención fue impecable, personalizada y cálida. Limbert no fue solo un guía: se convirtió en un verdadero amigo que nos hizo sentir como invitados especiales en su propia casa. Su conocimiento sobre la cultura maya es impresionante, y visitar las ruinas con él fue como viajar en el tiempo --una experiencia educativa y fascinante que no habríamos tenido con nadie más. Además, nadar con las tortugas fue una experiencia fuera de este mundo. Limbert se encargó de que todo fuera seguro, organizado y, sobre todo, mágico. Nos llevó también a restaurantes maravillosos con auténtica comida mexicana, alejados de lo turístico y llenos de sabor local. Gracias a Rod y Limbert, mis vacaciones fueron mucho más que excelentes --fueron absolutamente memorables. Recomiendo este tour a cualquiera que quiera descubrir La península de Yucatán con profundidad, autenticidad y un toque personal inolvidable. An Unforgettable Tour Thanks to Rod and Limbert! I was lucky to experience a truly unique custom tour organized by Rod, the owner, and Limbert, our tour guide. From the very beginning, the service was impeccable--warm, personalized, and incredibly thoughtful. Limbert wasn't just a guide; he felt like a true friend welcoming us into his home. His knowledge of Mayan culture is outstanding, and visiting the ruins with him felt like traveling back in time--an educational and fascinating experience we wouldn't have had with anyone else. Swimming with the turtles was also absolutely out of this world. Limbert made sure everything was safe, smooth, and above all, magical. He also took us to amazing restaurants with authentic Mexican cuisine, far from the tourist traps and full of local flavor. Thanks to Rod and Limbert, my vacation was more than excellent--it was truly memorable. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the Yucatán Peninsula with depth, authenticity, and a personal touch you'll never forget.

Our two families of adults and teens (9 total) enjoyed this amazing tour. We chose to leave our Cancun resort at 6:00 am, and it was definitely the right call, as we arrived at Chichen Itza before the heat and the crowds. Our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Jasmine and driver Ben were an excellent team, as we learned a ton and kept us all engaged. The cenote swim exceeded any expectations, and is something we will never forget. Awe-inspiring and beautiful, we are so glad we did this. The lunch at the Hacienda was a great choice. We loved seeing Valladolid from the comfort of the air-conditioned van. This was an unforgettable adventure, and we cannot recommend this enough. Thank you Rod and The Custom Tour for a great time!

We went on 2 days of tours with our tween sons and they had a great time. Both days we had the dynamic duo, Kat (tour guide) and Benjamin (driver) The bike riding in the jungle to see Coba was both very educational, we beat the crowd and the boys loved the biking. We also went to the most beautiful clear water of a Cenote where the water was so clear. Kat too amazing photos of us throughout the trip. And Benjamin kept the vehicle super pristine clean and was very helpful and friendly. We also went to the turtle bay and saw 7 turtles and YALKU where we saw so many fish. Thank you Rod, Kat and Benjamin for a wonderful adventure

We loved this tour! Our group of 11 people ranging in age from 15-75 had a great day with Kat and Benjamin. We toured the coba ruins on bicycle, so fun and informative, even the teenage boys enjoyed it and then had a beautiful lunch by the ocean! We finished our day exploring Kats favorite cenote. Kat and Benjamin were awesome guides, the day was very well planned, we seemed to beat the crowds everywhere. I was also very impressed with Rods communication, he was on top of everything very quickly and made the tour easy to plan and change as needed. It was our favorite group activity on vacation. Do it, you won't regret it!

We had an amazing experience with The Custom Tour! Everything from the booking, scheduling, to the tours themselves were absolutely perfect! We booked several excursions over two days while we were visiting Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Our tour guide Clar, was phenomenal! She was our guide both days and certainly made our experiences even more enjoyable! Our adventures included swimming in lagoons and several cenotes including an underground cenote! We also went snorkeling with turtles, toured the Tulum Ruins, we Zip-lined, Canoed, Cliff-Jumped, and visited a Mayan village where we enjoyed an authentic and very delicious lunch! Clar was also our own personal photographer so we could really enjoy each of our adventures…they even provided us with our own online photo albums at no extra cost! Clar and Benjamin (our driver) made sure we were comfortable and they provided plenty of education and fun conversations during transports. Rod and his team made booking and scheduling a breeze and they were even flexible with Hurricane Grace disrupting our vacation by scheduling us to another day before the storms arrived. I can't recommend this service enough! A must-do for anyone seeking adventure and a true one-of-a-kind Mexican experience!

We wanted to plan a fun family trip for my 50th birthday and my daughter’s 21st birthday. I started by looking up reviews online about things to do in Riviera Maya, Mexico. I saw quite a few reviews on The Custom Tour and how good they were. I could tell you… They did not disappoint! When I reached out to Rod, he contacted me right away. He truly did do his best to make it to where it would fit everyone in my family. He arranged two different tours for us- Coba Tour with Dos Ojos Cenote snorkeling and Yalku Lagoon And The Whale Shark Tour. Kat led both of our tours and was so nice!! She was great to be with! During the Coba tour we also had Jasmine with us. She was equally nice, informative, and fun to be with. We thoroughly enjoyed learning everything we did about the Mayan culture. Our driver, Benjamin (I think), was equally polite and a pleasure to be with. They all were very accommodating to our needs and answered all of our tons of questions! Besides a wonderful tour, we were provided with snacks, waters, and cold washcloths to cool us down! Only side note- if you get picked up early in the am for your tour and need a snack that is more on the healthier side, you might want to take some fruit or something substantial from the hotel the night before to bring with you. For the Whale Sharks, we joined the crew of the La Gaviota and they were equally great to be with. Swimming with the Whale Sharks was an unforgettable experience! We almost didn’t do it - but Rod made a way for it to work for us and we are so glad he did! We also had plenty of snacks and water on the boat. For lunch, the crew made incredible tasting ceviche and docked off the beautiful island of Las Mujeres. The water there was the most beautiful blue I have ever seen!! That tour truly brought tears to my eyes. To top things off, Rod called both times at the end of each tour to check in with me and make sure everything was the way we wanted it to be. On my birthday, when we opened the van, Kat had balloons everywhere for me and her and our driver sang Happy Birthday. That was a very special touch! And finally, it was such an added bonus to have Rod send us all of the great pictures Kat took on our tours within a day of them finishing. (Without having to pay any hidden or extra fee.) I would 100% recommend these tours and this company!!!
