We took a private tour to Tulum and Coba with Absolute. Juan, our guide, was awesome! I've been on several tours around the globe and can't imagine a more friendly and engaged tour guide. He was on time and went above and beyond every step of the way. He even stopped to buy my girlfriend a birthday ice cream! The sites were amazing too. We beat the rush at Tulum, nearly had the place to ourselves. Coba was great as well, especially the lunch spot! Unexpectedly, Juan took a ton of pictures throughout the tour for us and sent them over via email a few days later. I highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico, especially if you get Juan as your guide!

We had a great day visiting Tulum and snorkeling in a cenote. Our tour guide, Arturo, was engaging, thorough, and fun to be with. If we had more time in Mexico I would definitely have booked another trip with them. I will add too, that on the front end and back end of our tour, Owner Claire was extremely responsive to my multitude of questions and logistical inquiries. We were considering other tours, but there was no communication. This is critical when planning a vacation from afar. So all of these factors combined prompt me to give them an A++ rating. And I am a picky customer. Phenomenal job, Absolute Adventures, we will be singing your praises to family, friends, and obviously here to the world!

I researched and emailed several companies in Cancun and I couldn't be happier with Absolute. They always returned my emails wishing 24 hours or even faster and really had a vision for what we wanted for our day out. We did a private snorkeling tour on The Puerto Morelos reef and it was amazing. Our driving was so professional, stayed with our items in the van the whole time, picked us up on time and was perfect. Our guide was over the top great and he took us for a great lunch and had so much knowledge! I will be visiting again and will use Absolute!

We went on the Private archaeological tour to Coba and Tulum with Arturo and Ervin. They were both very professional and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our day with our guide Arturo who not only told us about the ruins but a lot about Mexico in general. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about the ruins.

Ease of booking online, prompt replies and extremely informative, we were picked up from our hotel, and enjoyed two private trips with these guys, Coba and Punta Laguna where we were lucky enough to see Spider Monkeys and Howler Monkeys we zip lined over the lake, and the brave among us were lowered by rope into a cenote for a gentle swim, before the strenuous climb up a rope ladder! Fantastic fun. We throughly enjoyed a trip out to Rio Lagartos with a entertaining captain Chino! Witnessed all sort of wildlife and of course the fabulous Flamingos. And not forgetting our Driver who gave us enough confidence in his driving for us to have a snooze!

Absolutely amazing! Claire was fantastic from the start, working with me via email to customize our tour and then we were fortunate to have her as our tour guide as well!

Outstanding experience--every detail attended to. Guide, Arturo, and driver were welcoming, prompt, pleasant, knowledgeable professionals. Each of the additional site guides (Tulum ruins and turtle swim) also outstanding. We booked thru our local travel agent prior to arrival. Selected 2 add'l tours at our hotel, Barcelo Maya Palace, (gorgeous!)before experiencing the Absolute Adventure. Had we known, we would definitely have booked the other excursions w/ Absolute. HIGHLY recommend and hope to return!! Thank you Claire and Company for an excellent adventure!

I will start by saying hands down the tour is worth it! I was a little hestitant at first because of the cost. However, after the day I would say I would do it again over and over again. The tour was worth every penny! Claire made the booking super easy and answered my questions though email almost immediately! They picked us up right on time and catered to us all day long. We were able to spend as much time or as little time as we wanted.

Juan, our tour guide and Omar, our driver, were absolutely amazing! They provided a private tour of Chichen Itza, the Cenote and Valladolid. We enjoyed a delicious traditional Mexican lunch at Atrio. Juan was very knowledgeable and will definitely request them on any future travels to Cancun. We highly recommend them.

We really enjoyed our day with guide Arturo and driver Irving. Van was clean, in good repair and stocked with drinks and snacks. Irving was a very safe driver. He didn’t talk a lot with us, but we were impressed that he speaks Italian and Mayan and is learning English. Arturo was friendly, organized, attentive, and knew his stuff. Unlike the park guides who gave their memorized speech, then asked for questions (also interesting) Arturo would tell you things you did not think to ask. Highly recommend this way to tour the archaeological sites, you will get way more out of it.

Fantastic, We did a turtles and cenote tour and at all 3 sites there were barely any other tourists as they select to visit at times when there aren't huge rushes of tourists. The outdoor waterhole cenote a particular highlight, serene.

Our guide Juan took us for a leisurely drive down the coast to swim with the turtles and visit two cenotes - An underground cave cenote and an outside waterhole type cenote. We had such a great time, the outdoor cenote a particular highlight as it was literally just us and a few locals swimming. This tour takes you to cenotes that are less well known but still beautiful, and therefore we're barely saw another tourist which was fantastic! Juan was full of knowledge about the area and it was great to chat and find out more about Mexico and the sites. Definitely recommend hiring the waterproof camera if you don't have one of your own for this tour as everything is in water and we got some great shots of the turtles. Thanks heaps!

Me and 3 of my friends had a private tour to Chichen Itza with Arturo as our tour guide and Ervin as our driver on October 8, 2017. It was awesome! First off, I thought that the drive to Chichen Itza would be too far but it was totally worth the drive and our tour guides made it worth it. First off, you are picked up very early from your resort, stop off to get a quick pastry/coffee and then you're on your way. All of us napped in the van on our way to Chichen Itza which helped because it is a pretty long day that you are gearing up for. Ervin was a great and safe driver throughout the entire trip! Arturo had a lot of knowledge to share and also took pictures of our group to share at the end of our tour for free. Chichen Itza is amazing - you can really see what incredible astronomers and mathematicians the Mayans were. There are also a lot of vendors there - Arturo even helped us bargain and we came home with some great souveniers.

We had a great tour with Alex, Claire and Omar. We had a very early start but it was worth it to get to Chichen Itza before the crowds. Alex and Claire were really knowledgable and great to talk to about the history of the Mayans. The tour is relaxed and you’re able to spend as much time as you want on the different parts of the tour. Would really recommend this to anyone who wants a more personalised experience!

We used Absolute Adventure Mexico for two private trips while staying at the Royal Hotel in Playa del Carmen. The first was an all-day trip for two to Chichen Itza. This was arranged at the last minute the previous evening via email, thanks to Claire, the company’s very responsive owner.

My son (age 24) and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Tulum, snorkeling the reef off Paraiso Beach and our visit to an underground cenote where we were the only visitors in it. Arturo, our guide, is extremely engaging and knowledgeable and makes every effort to assure that your trip is an enjoyable one. Absolute Adventures utilizes lovely vans for transport, cooler with drinks, wetsuits, updated snorkels, masks, and life vests. If we had more time, I would have booked some additional trips with them. Lastly, Claire was wonderful in responding so quickly to my emails. Snorkeling in an underground cenote is a great way to spend an rainy afternoon!

Our day started early, but it was well worth the 5:30 am pick up time. Our drive Ervin was great and out guide Arturo was amazing!! We saw several birds including some beautiful flamingos. The highlight of the trip for me was the pink lagoon, it was AMAZING!! We had a great lunch on the way back to our resort where Arturo made the best recommendation for food. It was a great day and I would highly recommend Absolute Adventure for a personally and knowledgeable tour.

My partner and I did three tours with absolute adventures, Tulum and Cobá, Rio Lagartos and Chichen Itza and Valladolid. Claire was speedy to reply to my emails with info and made the booking process easy. We were picked up bright and early by Arturo our guide who we had all three tours with and Irvin the driver. Our van was spacious, clean and we had a cooler full of unlimited drinks and even were offered a snack. All meals and drinks on our tour were provided and Arturo told us to pick anything from the menu except cocktails (extra charge) but we don’t drink so not a problem. Irvin was a friendly driver and very polite, Arturo was a super knowledgeable guide and went out of his way to show us everything - climbing Cobá was quite slow but he was patient letting us rest and encouraging us also. He knew all of the answers to the questions we had and I actually feel it would be better to cut out the archeological guides at the sites and just use your guide to give info as they seem to know the info. We could go where we wanted and were allowed extra time at certain areas and Irvin and Arturo both would wait patiently. On the way back Arturo made the effort to engage in conversation and not only is he a great guide but a really interesting guy. Our favorite tour was definitely Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas and we’re so glad you offer it as not many places do! The salt lakes were beautiful! We have never been on private tours before but we feel it was 100% worth the extra price tag and excellent value for money. I would always recommend you in future and if I came back I wouldn’t hesitate to contact your company!

Our private tour with Absolute Adventures and our tour guides Juan-José and Ervin to Chichen Itza, incredible lunch in town, and swimming in 2 Cenotes was one of the best tours I have ever taken and my wife and I have been coming here for 30 years! Juan was very informative and took some amazing photos for us. Jaun and Ervin went out of their way to make our tour truly spectacular and never once rushed us or told us we had to leave. Juan even carried our bags for us through out the different parks so we were free to take pictures of our own. You can leave everything in the van which was very clean and comfortable when you tour and Ervin stays with the van. Not only did they have all of the equipment we needed for the tour they also had cold beer, soda, and water for us in the van for the ride.

Had a great time walking around this fascinating place. Van was clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour as it was organized well, and full of lots of information and humor.

We recently returned from Tulum, and our tours with Absolute Adventure were definitely the highlight of our trip. We did two across two days: (1) Rio Lagartos private boat tour + Las Coloradas + Ek Balam with Juan Jose and Arturo, and (2) Tulum Ruins + snorkeling in a cenote (Tak Be Ha) with Juan Jose. Our guides Juanjo and Arturo were fantastic -- very personable, knowledgeable and attentive -- and made us feel really comfortable... to the point that by the end of the first day, we felt like we were just hanging out with friends and looked forward to seeing them again! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience touring Tulum, and I can't imagine going back without booking another tour through this company.

We booked a tour to go zip lining as well as the Cenote half day trip. Arturo was our guide and we couldn't of asked for a better experience! Our group was made up of younger children along with teenagers and adults. Arturo was personal with all age groups and made the trip fun for everyone. He was patient with the younger children as well as interactive and adventurous with the young adults. Absolute Adventure Mexico was great to communicate with and answered all the questions we had. My only regret was that we didn't use them for all of our outings!

This was a fantastic tour, a bit pricey but was worth the investment for the private tour with three young children (8,6,3). Our tour guide Juan, was very professional, kind, and courteous. Claire I believe is one of the owners provided quick responses to all questions, and even provided a refund for our 3 year old who ended up not able to participate in the days activities. I highly recommend using Absolute Adventures to tour the paradise of Mexico!
