Private Tours Playa del Carmen and Tulum: Why Carey Tours?

We’re local experts, not tourism corporations. Founded in 1994 by Fernando—a Playa del Carmen resident, certified guide, and lifelong fisherman—Carey Tours operates as a family-owned agency specializing in private tours that reveal the real Riviera Maya. Unlike large companies rushing groups through tourist traps, we create intimate experiences where you discover Mexico through the eyes of those who call it home.

What Makes Our Private Tours Different?

  • Local Expertise
  • Completely Private Tour
  • Total costumization


Local Expertise You Can’t Find Elsewhere
Fernando himself often serves as your personal guide, sharing stories and hidden places only someone who’s lived here since 1994 would know. All our certified guides grew up in the Riviera Maya, bringing genuine cultural knowledge and conservation passion that transforms sightseeing into meaningful discovery.

Completely Private—No Strangers, No Crowds Every Carey Tours experience remains exclusively yours. Your own certified guide, private transportation, and flexible schedule. No waiting for 20+ strangers or following rigid group itineraries.

Customized Timing & Access for Maximum Joy We personalize every detail to optimize your adventure—adjusting departure times to avoid traffic and crowds, selecting optimal routes for seamless transitions between locations, and scheduling activities when conditions peak. Consequently, you reach cenotes before tour buses arrive, explore archaeological sites in perfect golden-hour lighting, and snorkel reef locations when marine life feeds most actively.

Discover Authentic Mexico with Carey Private Tours 

Experience the Riviera Maya like a local with our private tours in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, designed by a small, family-owned local agency with over 20 years of experience in tourism.

Founded by Fernando, a passionate local guide and fisherman who has called Playa del Carmen home since 1994, Carey Tours was born from a lifelong love for nature, history, and the vibrant Mayan culture — the true heart of this region.

After decades of working with leading travel companies, Fernando decided to create something different: personalized private tours that go beyond the crowds and without the rush, offering travelers a chance to explore the real, authentic Mexico.

Often, Fernando himself will be your personal guide, sharing local stories and hidden places that only someone who grew up here would know. All our guides are certified experts with years of experience creating tailor-made adventures for families, couples, and groups — and above all, they’re proud to share the beauty of Mexico and the Mayan world with every traveler.

This tour was amazing! Not only were the cenotes beautiful, but our tour guide was amazing as well! He gave us some excellent history lessons on the cenotes and the areas around them. This company definitely knows what they are doing with tours to provide a personalized and memorable experience!

We had a wonderful tour snorkeling and in to a cenote with Yosh through Carey Tours! He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, funny, and added a lot to our overall experience. He even allowed us some time in a beautiful quiet part of the cenote to meditate and appreciate the wonder of it all. We would absolutely recommend Yosh and Carey Tours!
