Absolute Adventure Mexico
This was an amazing trip. ?Joshua was our guide and he made the trip. ?It was astonishing to see the other tour guides not saying much and our tour guide who was friendly and informative. ?We actually could see other tours in Tulum listening to Joshua. ?The Cenotes were experiences of a lifetime. ?We took Joshua's recommendations and it didn't disappoint. ?The company was super responsive and professional. ?They picked us up on time, were very friendly, and were always aware of bathroom breaks, head counts, and lines. ?Amazing company. ?As an aside, lunch was the best meal we had for our entire 10 day trip. ?It's not some "tacked on" thing. ?It was really delicious

The tour was a success. Joshua was an excellent tour guide and shared the history of the Mayans and the Toltecs in great detail. He was organized and informed us step by step along the way. He was respectful, kind and made sure our experience was excellent. Enrique was an excellent driver. He got us everywhere we needed to go safely. He picked us up on time and was ready to go to the next stop. He was also very respectful and kind. They both came prepared with drinks and offered us water throughout the day to make sure we were hydrated and comfortable. It was a splendid day and we are thankful that both Joshua and Enrique were there to make it an amazing day!

My sister and I took a private tour this past month with Alex and Enrique. The tour was early and it was fantastic; we had great photos from Coba, where we were nearly the only ones there. We had the cenotes completely to ourselves and the excellent lunch afterwords as well. They were so informative about the mythology, culture and surrounding wherever we were. My husband and I had a small group tour to nearly the same destinations in 2012 but the private tour blew me away with how much more I got out of this trip. Definitely go!

Great tour and our guide Juan was awesome. Our driver Omarr was tremendous as well. Juan was knowledgeable and very personable. A joy to spend the day with. In our time together we learned not just of Coba and the history of the place and people, but also of the current region and culture. Highly recommended!

Picked up from our accommodation early so we could get to Tulum before the crowds, on the way Alex the guide talked about the Mayan history and explained everything very clearly using pictures on his tablet. We were the first to arrive at Tulum so had the place to ourselves for awhile. As we walked around Alex explained each ruin. Was the same experience at Coba, but since Coba is a bigger site we rode around on bikes to get to each point a lot quicker. Both sites are different though as Tulum is coastal and has palm tress everywhere and Coba is in the middle of the jungle with trees growing over some of the ruins, so it was good to do both. We opted to do the cenote swims after visiting Coba to cool off which was also amazing. Barely anyone was at each one so practically had them to ourselves. I dropped my phone in one and it died on me so Alex and Enrique the driver offered to go to the shops while we were having lunch to get me a bag of rice. Thankfully it recovered and is working again! Thank you Alex and Enrique. In the van they also supplied water and sodas for the day.

We arrived at the Akumal and swam with turtles before all the crowds arrived, you get a private guide for the turtle swim as well so it feels like a very personal experience. I noticed large groups as we were leaving having to form a large circle around a turtle which I feel would take away from the experience. It was just my friend and I so we were able to get reasonably close and the guide offered to take my gopro and take all the videos for us without anyone in the back ground. It was a great experience. For the cenote swim we chose to do Sac Actun which is a cenote but with a cave attached, Alex the guide took us into the cave, they supplied wetsuits and snorkles. Another great experience, swimming though a cave with stalactites and stalagmites, sometimes with only enough room from you head to be above the water! Alex was awesome and the driver as well, they also supplied water and sodas. On the way to each destination Alex would explain the history of each place and the meanings of the names. The included lunch also had the best fish tacos we have had in Mexico!

We recently had an unforgettable experience with Absolute Adventures, and we couldn’t be happier with their exceptional service. Our guide, Arturo, and driver, Omar, made our private tour to Chichén Itzá truly remarkable. Arturo was everything you could hope for in a guide—informative, patient, knowledgeable, and passionate. His enthusiasm for Mayan culture and history was contagious, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed sharing his insights with us. He answered all our questions thoughtfully, bringing the ruins to life with stories about the Mayan people, their culture, and their incredible accomplishments. The logistics were seamless. Arturo and Omar picked us up directly from our hotel in Cancun in a clean, comfortable vehicle. The drive to Chichén Itzá (about three hours each way) was smooth and relaxing, thanks to Omar's excellent driving skills. Along the way, Arturo kept us engaged with fascinating information about the Yucatán region, making the time fly by. What we loved most about this tour was that it was completely at our own pace. Arturo ensured we never felt rushed, giving us plenty of time to explore the incredible ruins, take photos, and soak in the history. His flexibility made the experience feel truly tailored to us, adding an extra level of comfort and enjoyment. At Chichén Itzá, Arturo's deep knowledge and passion really shone. He guided us through the site at a perfect pace, ensuring we had time to take in the grandeur of the ruins while learning about their significance. His storytelling made the ancient city come alive in a way that left us awestruck. This tour was worth every penny, and we highly recommend Absolute Adventures to anyone looking for a truly personalized and enriching experience. Arturo and Omar went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. If you're planning to explore the wonders of the Yucatán, this is the team you want by your side! Thank you Christopher

A wonderful experience with friends and our amazing guide, Joshua and our amazing driver, Rodrigo! Joshua was so knowledgable and fun to talk to. My friends and I did the Tulum Private Tour with Turtles and Cenote Snorkeling. We were a group of 8, so it was exciting to experience walking on Mayan land, snorkeling in the cenotes, and snorkeling with turtles. The experience is about 5 hours and it flew by! Joshua made the experience immersive and he was a great guy to talk to. My friends and I enjoyed learning about the Mayans. He showed pictures and gave us a mini history lesson while we were touring the Mayan Ruins and it was an incredible experience. He also took awesome photos of me and my friends. The lunch that was included with the experience was delicious! A great way to relax and chat before we headed to our last excursion. We were staying in Tulum, so it's about a 15-20 minute drive to each location after you're done. After we were done, Joshua gave awesome recs to do in Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. Thank you again Joshua! You were an awesome tour guide. If my friends and I are ever in the area, we'll definitely do a tour with you again! Muchas Gracias! 😀

Arturo and our driver were absolutely the best. Their knowledge of the area and different cenotes went above and beyond our expectations. We felt very safe and truly enjoyed all aspects of our tour, and don’t pass up on the lunch- that was also excellent!

Easy breezy tour to Tulum ruins and 2 cenotes with door to door service from our resort. Our tour guide Arturo provided a plethora of cultural facts about the Mayan settlement in Tulum and our driver Enrique provided a comfortable pleasurable ride. Top notch service all day from both and would highly recommend for your next excursion. Do as many cenotes as you can!

Joshua was an incredible tour guide! Not only was he knowledgable about the history of the Mayans in Tulum, but he also went above and beyond to help me when I struggled to walk. His passion and enthusiasm for sharing this rich history made the experience unforgettable. The cenotes were breathtaking, and swimming with the turtles was a highlight of our trip. The customer service was also excellent - they checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly, even after a small hiccup at the start. If we ever return to Mexico, we’ll definitely book another excursion and request Joshua! Highly recommended!

Such a wonderful, memorable tour! Alex, our guide, and Rodrigo, our driver, took great care of us. We toured Mayan ruins in Coba, swam in two cenotes and it even included a private lunch at a local restaurant. Alex was knowledgeable and taught us so much about Mayan culture. Restroom breaks were planned along our route and we were able to include water and drinks. Would completely recommend, and we'll use Absolute Adventure next time we come to Mexico!

The perfect day trip for a large group We booked a private tour for our group of 16 and it was incredible! Could not recommend more highly. They were able to provide transportation in a van large enough for the entire group, and our guide Arturo was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. The ruins were beautiful. The cenote we went to was fantastic and not crowded at all. Then the location they chose for the included lunch was delicious. It was honestly the perfect day trip!

We did the Tulum Mayan ruins + 1 cenote private tour and our tour guide was Alex and our driver was Enrique. I cannot say enough good things about them. We booked last minute, but everything was handled professionally and no stress at all on our part. We felt safe the entire time Enrique was driving. We learned so much about the history of the Mayan ruins and cenotes from Alex. You could tell he really knew his stuff and he enjoyed what he was doing. Since it was our last full day in Mexico, we wanted to do a short tour and this was exactly what we were looking for. We were picked up at 7 and got dropped off by 12. We never felt rushed at any point and it was the perfect tour for our schedule. We will for sure rebook this company for the Chichen Itza tour when we return. 1000000/10 stars.

My husband and I truly recommend this excursion. Our guide Oscar was knowledgeable and friendly. After seeing the ancient community of EK Balam we enjoyed swimming in a cenote. That was followed by a traditional Mexican lunch. It was worth every penny!

Just got back from the Tulum ruins and cenote swim tour and it was amazing!!! So worth it. Our guide Joshua did such a great job explaining the history of the Mayan culture and we learned a lot. However the best part, in my opinion, was the cenote swimming. Joshua?s love of being in the water made him the perfect guide to snorkel and explore the inners of the cenote. Him and our driver Enrique made the day perfect!!! I highly recommend booking this tour.

We had a great day as a family and with our guide Joshua. He was fantastic with our two children - especially as they had lots of questions for him throughout the day. Joshua was very knowledgable , sharing a lot of history about the Mayans and Mexico. We set off early and arrived just before Chichen Itza opened so didn?t wait too long to enter the site. Food at Paladar de Cura in Valladolid was fantastic too.

Alex was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the history as well as details about the ruins. He was very hospitable and allowed us plenty of time for questions and shopping. Going early was a great benefit as we felt as if we had the place to ourselves. As we were leaving, it began getting very crowded. Our family and friend group would highly recommend!
