A Highlight of our Cancun Vacation
We had an incredible time on our tour with Paul! From the moment we met him, we instantly felt at ease. We were a group of 5 and Paul helped renting a van so that we could have a more enjoyable and relaxed experience. He was also great at planning our trip for the day. What really made the experience special was the personal touch Paul brought to the whole trip. It truly felt like he became part of our family, attending to our needs and ensuring we had an unforgettable time. He loves his job and his dedication is evidently seen in his work and knowledge. When we asked our kids what the highlight of our Cancun trip was, they all agreed it was the time we spent with Paul. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly guide who's passionate about providing an unforgettable experience, Paul is your guy. We highly recommend him and can’t wait to plan our next adventure with him!

Everything and a little bit more
A private tour with Paul gave us a unique experience and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. It began before the trip with good information, arrangements, and suggestions for the tour. The tour day started on time in a comfortable car with AC. The service was excellent! The lunch was both a visual and tasteful experience. We had great freedom and service during the tour, which we highly recommend and appreciated. If we had stayed longer in Cancun, we would have booked more experiences with Paul.

Best Tour Guide Ever!
Paul is unquestionably the best tour guide I’ve ever had. His extensive knowledge of history and each site we visited was amazing. I don’t know how he imparts all of this information while remaining incredibly entertaining the entire day. Definitely a unique experience unlike any private tour that I have taken!! Be sure to book him early as his time fills up quickly!

Fun family day trip
My husband and our 2 young children recently returned from a trip to Cancun and our best day, by far was our day spent with Paul! We had the most amazing time at a cenote, followed by the Tulum ruins and finished the day at a relaxed beach bar in Tulum. Paul made us all feel completely at ease and as though we were travelling with a friend. We would 100% recommend Paul to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed and individual day trip, with a young family.

Amazing Tour to Chichén Itzá with Paul!
Our group of four had an unforgettable experience visiting Chichén Itzá! Our guide, Paul, is fantastic—super knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the site. He speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and even a bit of Russian, which was a pleasant surprise! Not only is Paul an excellent guide, but he is also a former photographer, so he has amazing and fun ideas for posing. Thanks to him, we got some of the best pictures from our trip! On top of that, he was able to answer tons of questions about history and daily life in Mexico, making the experience even more immersive. The tour is well-organized, with comfortable transportation and plenty of time to explore. Paul’s storytelling brings the history of the Mayan civilization to life, making the visit even more special.

Wonderful day exploring Yucatan!
We spent a wonderful day with Paul touring Chichen Itza, plunging into a refreshing cenote and touring Valladolid. The locations themselves were great, Paul is very knowledgeable and fun, but what we appreciated the most was that the tour went at our pace without feeling rushed in any way. We also loved the little place he brought us for lunch, which is off the beaten track and the tourist buses. He made us feel special and we appreciated how he documented our day with him with lots of pictures. I would greatly recommend this particular tour but I would also check out his other tours (we would do the food tour if we had more time in Mexico). Paul clearly loves Mexico and the area, and his enthusiasm for what Mexico has to offer is very infectious.

A whole week of memories made!
We asked Paul ( Señor Travel Bug) to plan a week-long vacation for our family. Our goal was to stay in Cancún, but experience a wide range of highlights the region has to offer, as well as some typical resort vacation pleasures. Paul carefully planned and recommended tours and activities, including important cultural sites like Chichen Itzá and Tulum, as well as some of the natural wonders of the region like different cenotes and wildlife reserves. We got to experience small towns and local cuisine, as well as some of the nightlife and beaches that draw tourists to the area. Paul considered our wishes, preferences and budget when curating our itinerary. We were presented with options and projected costs for each day, so that we could make informed decisions and not be surprised by unexpected costs. On our tours with Paul, we benefitted from his extensive knowledge of the area and his photography skills, which allowed us to document our adventures while fully focussing on the experience rather than having to take our own pictures. We could not have asked for a better week and our family made incredible memories!

Unforgettable Experience
Our day trip to Chichén Itzá, the cenote, and Valladolid with Paul was truly unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up exactly on time at our hotel, everything was seamless. Paul is incredibly knowledgeable — he shared fascinating insights about every stop, from the rich history of Chichén Itzá to the hidden gems around Valladolid that we would’ve never discovered on our own. What really made the experience stand out was Paul’s genuine passion for what he does. As a special touch, he also happens to be an amazing photographer! He captured beautiful, natural moments of me and my family throughout the day — memories we’ll cherish forever.

Leveled up our vacation
Paul’s local knowledge enabled us to see, do, learn, and taste much more than we could have managed without his expertise. Amazing sights, great info, great conversation. Paul was prepared with all the supplies we needed, kept a good schedule that didn’t feel rushed but made sure we had time for everything we wanted, took amazing photos and video, and had local connections that made us feel like visiting friends, not tourists. He really leveled up our vacation!

A day to remember!
We had the most amazing tour with Paul. We wanted to go off the beaten track a little, see some wildlife and get a sense of how life in Mexico is. Well it certainly met our expectations and much much more. Beautiful Isla blanca, fantastic authentic Mexican food with beautiful views, a secret church and the delights of Cancun square- the day was full of truly unforgettable moments. Paul was very knowledgable with many interesting anecdotes from living in Mexico for so long.

Simply the Best Tour and Guide to Chichen Itza
Let me save you some time. If you’ve gotten this far looking for a tour guide to Chichén Itzá, you should just book Paul now. You will not find a better option in all of Mexico. Honestly, book him for two different tours. You can thank me later. (Even my 12-year-old son said it would be worth a trip back to Cancún just to go on another tour with Paul.) The drive is 2.5 hours one way, yet he makes the trip interesting and entertaining. He was very attentive to our needs and interests, and he wanted to ensure we had a great day. It felt more like spending the day with the friend of a friend, than a guided visit to a museum. I have had the privilege to travel to many places and I’ve had hundreds of guides, docents, hosts, park rangers, and the like. Paul is simply world class as a guide. He is the definition of professional, and one of the very best I’ve ever worked with. I recommend him without reservation and I would tour with him again in a heartbeat.

The Best Private Chichen Itza Tour in Cancun!
Paul gave us an unforgettable, top-notch experience exploring one of the wonders of the world—at an unbeatable price! If you're in Cancun and planning a visit to Chichen Itza, skip the crowded group tours and book a private tour with Señor Travel Bug Mexico. Paul goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. We did all we wanted in just 11.5 hours—no long entry lines, no unnecessary delays. After all our research, no one offered a better deal. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Tour Experience!!!
We had an incredible experience with Paul during our trip to Mexico. From start to finish, the service was absolutely five-star. He was so accommodating and genuinely attentive to how we were feeling on the day, adapting plans when needed. It was clear that Paul was passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Mexico, and we felt like we were in the best hands. And as a great bonus Paul took amazing photos and videos for us throughout the day! Honestly, it was like having our own personal content creator… perfect for the memories and the socials!

Fun times!
Paul's pictures were great! He knew the best locations to snap family photos and had us smiling and laughing the entire trip, which is no small tasks with teenagers. Made a great local restaurant recommendation and was flexible with our stops and activities. I would highly recommend this tour or any other tour that Paul is doing or coordinating. If you are going to Cancun area, don't hesitate to hire him for any trip.

Greatest tour guide to ever live
Paul is probably the greatest tour guide, no, greatest person to ever roam the planet, even greater than Jordan, Brady, Messi, anyone. If you're second guessing whether or not to book this tour, do it because you definitely won't regret it.
