I need a driver/guide for the Yucatan I am a 54yr old guy who loves Mexico. I went to the Yucatan Peninsula 14 years ago and really liked it. I hit a number of different places including Merida, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum, etc. Now I want to go back. I am a photographer. I do not like Cancun. I am more interested in authentic Mexico rather than big touris sites.
