This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Tulum. The tour guide, Arturo, was more than helpful and very informative! As someone who lives in Mexico, this is perfect for locals and visitors alike. I enjoyed it to the maximum!
SG –
This whole tour and our guide Arturo were amazing!!!! we did the private cenotes tour and tequila tasting. The cenote (we went to Niche Ha in Dos Ojos) was so insanely beautiful and Arturo did an amazing job of explaining everything to us, swimming around with us and taking as many photos of us as we wanted and generally being really patient with us. Afterwards we drove 5 mins to a gorgeous table for our lunch and tequila tasting that Arturo explained to us was a restaurant and a venue. He explained all the tequilas to us and we learned a lot. 10/10 recommend!!!! There wasn’t a moment that I didn’t feel safe or properly taken care of!

I recently had the pleasure of going on two incredible trips with Absolute Adventure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our tour guide, Arturo, was absolutely exceptional, and he made our experiences truly unforgettable.
Arturo’s extensive knowledge and passion for history brought the ancient Mayan civilization to life. Exploring the ruins was like stepping back in time, and Arturo’s storytelling made it even more captivating. After our exploration, we were treated to a delightful tequila tasting, where we learned about the different types of tequila and savored the distinct flavors. It was a perfect combination of cultural immersion and indulgence.
Throughout both trips, Arturo’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine love for what he does were evident. His ability to connect with the group and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere enhanced our overall experience. He was always willing to answer our questions, share fascinating stories, and ensure that everyone was comfortable and having a great time.

We did the private tour of Tulum with lunch and a tequila tasting after. I cannot recommend this enough and I do NOT like tequila. We did this tour for my sister bc its her bday weekend and she loves tequila. I have no love for tequila, but Arturo, our guide, was fabulous. Not only did he know everything about Tulum and the Mayan culture, he was extremely knowledgeable about tequila as well. Honestly, he MADE the tour. He was , hands down, one of the best tour guides I have had.

BEST SNORKELING CENOTE AND TEQUILA TOUR IN TULUM
We did the private cenote snorkeling tour and tequila tasting tour with Arturo & it was THE MOST incredible experience! We had a large bachelorette group and could not have asked for a better afternoon – we learned so much about tequila, had a gorgeous tour snorkeling inside the caves and a delicious lunch to top it all off. Arturo is an awesome guide and we couldn’t thank his whole team enough for an unforgettable experience! If you are debating booking a tour with this company, you won’t regret it!!!

Best tour, tour Guide in playa del carmen! One of the best guides and drivers who made the cenote experience worth the time spent.
Arturo our guide was extremely knowledgeable, articulate, considerate and inclusive in making sure everyone gets to feel the same way he feels when going through dos ojos cenote. More importantly kept everyone safe, did not rush to complete the tour.
5 star ⭐️ for sure. Plus the lunch and 6 rounds of tequila (tequila tasting) was part of the pack. You leave with a better understanding of both the cenote’s their impact to the environment. While having a good time with friends knowing more about tequila
Julius –

We were a group of 5 and booked the tulum ruins and tequila tasting tour. Our tour guide was Arturo. He was on time to pick us up for our tour.

10 Gold Stars ⭐️ We love Arturo
My friends and I visited in a large group for a cenote tour, a tequila tasting and lunch. Arturo was very accommodating, knowledgeable, helpful, fun and kind to our large group from beginning to end. I can’t say enough good things about Arturo!
The cenote was beautiful, the tequila tasting was a fun experience, and we learned a lot, and the lunch was great and the staff was all so accommodating and kind to us.
For me, this tour was the most memorable part of our Tulum vacation and I would highly reccommend booking!
