For my first time in Tulum, our tour guide Arturo, was an amazing tour guide. He explained everything in detail about the ruins and made sure we were all safe in the cenote.

Arturo was an excellent tour guide. He arrived on time to pick our group up. We got to the ruins early and beat the crowd and heat. He was very professional, showed concern, and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the Mayan culture and people. Then we had a great lunch along with tequila tasting. This was an awesome tour that came with education and fun!! I even learned that anejo tequila is the way to go!! I would definitely book with absolute adventure in the future!!

Tulum Ruins & Tequila Tasting
Arturo was so welcoming and a wonderful guide for our tour! We will definitely come back the next time we visit for another tour!!

Katie –
Arturo was an incredibly amazing guide! 10/10 recommend

Our guide Arturo was particularly nice.
He was able to describe and show us lots of great things in the cenote.
The tequila tasting was particularly good. Very informative and we had a lot of fun. Thank you very much. We would love to go again. An absolute recommendation.

Very responsive to my multiple questions I had in the days before the tour. Everything was exactly as advertised. I highly recommend this company.

Tequila tasting and Myan Ruins- Party of 24
Absolutely a great experience! I had a large group of 24. Our tour guide, Arturo, and drivers picked us up at the hotel. The tour through the Mayan Ruins in Tulum was great.
Arturo was very knowledgeable. The lunch that was provided after was delicious. Orders were taken before we left the ruins, so we didn’t wait long to eat. The tequila tasting was so much fun.
LT21 –
Absolutely incredible tour. Our group of 24 was led by Arturo through Tulum’s Mayan ruins before we had lunch and tasted tequilas. Arturo was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the ruins and the peoples who lived there. Definitely would do another tour with him.
Tom –
Great experience. We were shown round a cenote and got to snorkel in it. The tequila tasting was also brilliant and our guide Artolo was incredibly knowledgable. We got to taste some great tequilas. We cannot say enough how incredible Artolo was as our guide for the day. He made the trip even better.
Trey S –
I recently went to Tulum to celebrate some family members’ birthdays. Our group was composed of people from the age of 30 to 72 years old. Our tour guide was great! Everyone enjoyed the snorkeling and the tequila tasting. The restaurant that the tour guide took us to had amazing drinks but the food could’ve been better. However, we went primarily for the snorkeling and tequila tasting (we stayed at an all inclusive so food wasn’t that important to us). As a result, I would highly recommend this tour and business!

Tulum and Tequila tour
Before I discuss the tour, I have to say that the managers are very quick to respond to emails and all my questions. This made me feel more comfortable going with them.
My wife and I did the Tulum tour with tequila testing. Our driver (Omar) and tour guide (Arturo) were on time at our resort. They are cery friendly and offered waters before we started. The drive to Tulum was about 1 hour. Omar is a very safe driver.
We were literally the first ones to Tulum. This provided a great time to gets pics without other people in our photos. Avoided the heat as well. Arturo is very knowledgeable of the history. He took his time and did not rush us. He brought additional material to help explain the history of the mayan culture. Tulum is beautiful.
Afterwards we went to lunch at a remote restaurant in the Dos Ojos park. After lunch we did the Mezcal and Tequila tasting. We enjoyed hearing the differences and being able to sample Tequila which is hard to find.
We took naps in the way back as Omar drove. Overall a very pleasant day.

A truly unique experience!
Looking at all the 5 Star reviews of Absolute Adventure Mexico it is difficult to add something new….other than to confirm previous 5 Star reviews. The company provided excellent service and immediate response from booking to the day of the tour. They used WhatsApp to stay in touch and response was always within minutes, sometimes immediate. Very impressive. The actual private tour was a fantastic experience. We were lucky to have Omar as a very safe driver and Arturo as a very knowledgeable and well prepared guide throughout the excursion. Arturo provided deep insights into the history of Tulum and the Mayan people in Yucatan and Central America. He was also the Tequila sommelier during the tasting experience. The choice of location was unique and away from the main tourist flows. It was clearly more than we expected and it is good to know that such great service still exists. They genuinely cared for us as their customers and that’s something rare these days. Bravo!
Karen –
We took a private tour of Cenotes & tequila tasting. Had a great time. Our guide, Arturo, was awesome. He helped me overcome my fears & I got to experience things I never thought I could. My husband loved the tequila tasting. Got to try brands he never would have before. It was fun, educational & relaxed. We never felt rushed. Can’t recommend this group highly enough
Jen –
Our tequila tour with Chris was exceptional! From the Tulum ruins to the tequila tasting, every moment was filled with knowledge and fun. Highly recommended!

Swim in a Cenote and Learn about Tequila
We booked a cenote tour and tequila tasting with Absolute Adventures, and had a wonderful time! The entire staff is made up of consummate professionals, from the booking person, to the driver, to Arturo, our guide. They were all great, and so was the tour! The four of us had an awesome time snorkeling in a cenote, and we all left with much more knowledge about tequila than when we arrived! Awesome day all around, and would definitely recommend.
Shaun –
We did the Cenote Tequila tour with Arturo. Our tour was phenomenal thanks to his expertise and upbeat attitude. Seriously, book with Arturo – you won’t regret it!
