See moreGreat private 2 cenotes tour with lunch Just did the 2 cenotes with lunch tour last week with Josh and Hugo with my wife and 12 and 14 year old. We did the pet cemetery ( sac actun) and the taak bi ha cenotes. Experience was awesome. Josh was an amazing guide taking us through pet cemetery for an hour and a half and then through taak bi ha for another half hour. Our kids thanked us for taking them. It was the highlight of our trip. Comfortable ride each way with Hugo and Josh. Couldn?t recommend this excursion or Hugo and Josh more highly.
See moreEduardo & Yosmar were great! This tour was great for my family - it was just the 4 of us. Eduardo & Yosmar picked us up at our hotel on time. Eduardo gave us lots of information about Mexico?s history while driving to Tulum. It was nice to have a private tour, we could go at our own pace & ask questions along the way. Eduardo was an excellent guide! And thanks to Yosmar?s advice we were able to have an amazing experience at the Cenote! Would recommend this tour!
See moreWonderful Wonder of the World Experience We had a great time on our tour. Eduardo was an amazing guide, was very patient with our little kids, and he tailored the experience to what we could handle as a family. The booking process was easy and straight forward. No issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful. Our Guide Christina was so knowledgeable and friendly. After reading several options we chose the Coba and Cenote Tour. Our family is so grateful for this one of a kind experience we had. Our guide handled all the transactions included and made things go so smoothly. Coba was a very interesting and beautiful tour with so many archaeological sites, birds and plants. The two cenotes we got to visit were breathtaking. The bigger of the two we swam in. It was almost a surreal feeling floating deep underground in very clear and warm water. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and were very impressed. I highly recommend this tour company.

Cristina and Hugo were absolutely phenomenal on our trip to the Coba ruins and surrounding cenotes! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for better guides to show us around the area and would book with them again in a heartbeat.
See moreFabuleux, superbe exp?rience ! Nous avons pass? 3 journ?es inoubliables avec notre guide Juan, ainsi que son chauffeur. Une 1ere journ?e ? Chichen Itza avec acc?s parmi les premiers au site, des explications vraiment tr?s interessantes, on voit que Juan est passionn? par son pays, mais il a ?galement su s?adapter ? nos 2 enfants pour rendre la journ?e ludique. Ensuite une journ?e ? Tulum et ensuite une cenote absolument incroyable. Puis une derni?re journ?e o? nous avons fait 2 cenotes superbes. Juan est un guide d?une grande gentillesse, hyper int?ressant et tres bienveillant, et fait tout pour que les clients passent un merveilleux moment, nous avons ? chaque fois d?jeun? dans des restaurants avec de la nourriture typique. Au niveau organisation, rien ? redire, l?agence est r?active, et le contact avec Claire facile et pr?cis. Exp?rience ? d?couvrir absolument ! Et encore un grand merci ? Juan !
See moreGreat experience Three of us (first timers in Yucatan) took the full day tour to Chichen Itza offered by Absolute Adventures. One advantage of this outfit is the opportunity to get to the site before the hordes of bus tours arrive. The site opens at 8AM (Central Time), and we were picked up at a hotel near Playa del Cwrmen at 6:15 (Eastern time), and were almost first in line when it opened. We had several hours of leisurely wandering around the site before the crowd surge began. Our guide, Dulce, was fantastic. Exploring the ruins with her was like being with a knowledgeable friend, rather than a standard tour guide. We had read up on the site before visiting, and she she was able to answer all our questions, remaining flexible to our requests to visit some of the non-standard places on the site After chichen itza, the tour offers a choice of cenotes to swim in, depending on how much light comes in, from none to full opening. We chose the middle option, which was a delight. Before returning to the hotel, we ate at a local restaurant in Valladolid, across from the old monastery, and then went to the city center near the cathedral. As expected, there were lots of shops, but we opted to sit on a bench and enjoy the ambiance of a pleasant gathering place for local families and tourists alike. All in all, a great introduction to the history, culture, and geology of the Yucatan.
See moreExp?rience inoubliable avec un guide vraiment g?nial Superbe exp?rience que je recommande fortement ! Nous avons pass? 3 journ?es inoubliables avec notre guide Juan. Une visite de Chichen Itza et de Valadolid, une visite de Tulum et une 1ere cenote, puis le dernier jour 2 cenotes avec ? chaque fois des exp?riences diff?rentes. Juan est un guide tr?s sympathique, ? lՎcoute, passionn? par son pays et son histoire, mais qui sait aussi s?adapter ? son public, et notamment avec des enfants il sait rendre les excursions ludiques et passionnantes. Nous avons ?galement eu des acc?s privil?gi?s en ?vitant la foule, ce qui rendait les visites encore plus agr?ables. Nous avons ?galement pu go?ter ? des sp?cialit?s mexicaines avec les conseils de Juan. L?agence est tr?s s?rieuse, avec un contact facile et r?actif avec Claire, ce qui permet de profiter de ses vacances sans inqui?tude sur l?organisation.
See moreAbsolutely fabulous Absolute Adventure! From the website, through booking and throughout the tour, our experience was well-organized, with clear communication. Juan was a great tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly and responsive to our interests (e.g. we preferred a quieter cenote); we felt very comfortable with him and would have no hesitation having him as a tour guide again. He even had restaurant options in Valladolid that accommodated our family?s dietary needs (one gluten-free and one vegan). Omar was a great driver - got us where we needed to go in a safe, timely way and also watching our belongings while we toured. Don?t underestimate the importance of the early start Absolute Adventures has for this tour - we beat the crowds both at Chich?n Itz? and the cenote we went to.

Our trip with Cristina and Ivan was incredible! We toured the Tulum ruins, swam in the Jaguar Cenote, had a wonderful and snorkeled with sea turtles, dying rays and bay squids. We felt fully taken care of the entire time by Cristina and Ivan. Ivan was a wonderful driver and Cristina taught us so much throughout the day about the ruins and local wildlife. She also served as our family photographer and took some incredible pictures of our family. Incredible day!
See moreIncredible Experience! The whole day was incredible! We got to the ruins very early to avoid the crowds. From there, we swam in a cenote and had an incredible lunch. We were lucky enough to see sea turtles, sting rays, baby squids and more! Ivan was a wonderful driver and Cristina was an incredible tour guide. We learned so much from her!
See moreFun and informative day! We had a brilliant day. Dulce adapted the day to suit our and our 8 year old granddaughters needs which was perfect. An interesting, informative and fun day. Wouldn?t hesitate to recommend. Thank you Dulce.
See morePrivate Express Tour of Tulum was just what we wanted. I highly recommend Absolute Adventure's Private Express Tour of Tulum. Cristina, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We learned a lot about Tulum and had a beautiful day exploring the ruins. We were looking for a tour where we could see Tulum but be back at a reasonable time to enjoy our afternoon at our hotel. We left our hotel at 7:30 am and were back by 1:30 pm. While it says express, we never felt rushed and felt it was just the right amount of time.

Excelente experiencia el Tour Tulum y Coba . Muchas gracias a Dulce por su paciencia para responder todas nuestras consultas y por la dedicación con que realiza su trabajo.

See moreA fantastic value! We used Absolute Adventure Mexico for three different tours while we were visiting Tulum and we are so grateful for the experiences! Each day had different guides and drivers who were all fantastic guides who knowledgeably and efficiently took us through different archeology sites. Joshua, Dulce and Cristina all passionately shared historical and archeological information with us and brought the ruins we toured back to life for us as we walked past groups of larger tours. We spent just the right amount of time to learn some facts and take a few pictures for us before moving on. Our drivers- Omar, Omar and Yos all got us where we were going quickly and safely and we felt lucky to have such great people show us around the sites including the cenotes they selected for us. The guides do ALL of the logistics for you and it's such a valuable service to have. The cost includes the guides going to the tour site entry counters/kiosks to get your needed entry tickets and wristbands. They drive you there, they rent you the bikes, they bring the snorkel gear and they buy you your lunch! This value alone makes it a fantastic way to get a lot of adventuring in and still have time to relax on the beach afterwards! Thank you Absolute Adventure
See moreOur guide Arturo was the man! Our group had a great time. I'd recommend this cenote tour to anyone.
See moreAmazing day at Ek Balam, Cenote and Valladolid with Arturo My family had an amazing day with Arturo as our guide and Enrique as our driver visiting Ek Balam, a cenote nearby and then Valladolid from near Playa del Carmen. Arturo had excellent knowledge of Ek Balam and mayan history and culture. We so enjoyed his excellent touring, completely fluent English from many years in the U.S., and friendly, easygoing attitude. We had some dietary restrictions in our group, including vegetarians and pescatarian, and had lunch in Valladolid at Yerba Buena which was so delicious and had such a friendly ownership. The private tour was great and we felt Arturo gave us great attention and understanding of our needs. We would highly recommend Absolute Adventuree and would love to do another tour whenever we're next in the area! Muchas gracias!

We got a tour done by Josh and Omar and it was amazing! They go above and beyond. Josh is so knowledgeable and kind. No waiting around just fun. Wouldn’t have been the same to visit without them!
See moreDulce and Rodrigo were amazing! Our Guide was Dulce and our driver was Rodrigo. They were 10/10, simply amazing! We felt so taken care from the moment they picked us up until we got back to the hotel. Dulce was extremely patient and explained the history of the Xenotes. We felt safe during the snorkeling session and amazed by everything. They were always asking if everything was alright and if we needed anything. We chose Dos ojos and Taak bi ha and have no regrets, these memories will always be with us. When we come back, we?ll do another experience and will ask for them!! Communication with the company was great as well, Ruby replied our emails and assisted us with the payments. Don?t hesitate - you can trust their service.

We had a group of 10 adults and chose to do Punta Laguna monkey reserve, which included a zipline across a lake, and then canoeing across that same lake. We saw several monkeys, and experienced a cultural ritual. Afterwards we were able to rappel into an underground cenote that was incredible. Following that, we explored Cobá ruins by bike and climb to the top of a pyramid. Ended our excursion with a delicious Mexican lunch before being driven right back to the lobby of our resort. Our guide Jose (or JJ) was so likable! He was funny, easy going, and honest. He also answered all of our questions and we hope to be able to get him next time we do an excursion in Mexico!

Chichen Itza, Oxman Cenote, and Valladolid were amazing. Absolute Adventure Mexico was easy to book with, communicate with, and the whole process was seamless. Joshua was an amazing tour guide and he did a wonderful job taking questions from our kids, and making the history of the Mayan Culture engaging and informative. He was nothing short of excellent. Rodrigo was great as our driver and the ride was comfortable with plenty of stops along the way to stretch our legs and use the restroom if needed. I will definitely book with Absolute Adventure Mexico for future excursions. The experience through them was perfect for our group of different interests and age demographics.
See moreINCREDIBLE EXCURSION 100/10 stars. My friends and i celebrated a bachelorette party and the experience was wonderful and seamless. Our tour guide Arturo and driver Hugo were so incredibly helpful and very sweet! Very professional and easy to spend the day with! We were able to Snorkel with turtles up close which was incredible and we even saw a stingray. Then we drove to the cenote which we basically had to ourselves and that was otherworldly. So serene, so pristine, and such a beautiful, natural environment. We ended the excursion at a very classic Mexican restaurant and had traditional food which tasted INSANELY DELICIOUS! service was great and prices were very fair! All in all a wonderful day we will all remember and such a special memory made

We took a private tour to Chichen Itza as a family of 4. Our tour guide was Arturo and he was the absolute best! Pickup time was flexible and he accommodated any breaks or bathroom stops we needed along the way and throughout the tour. He took great photos of our family at every major stop and was very patient with us anytime we needed to slow down, or when we wanted to look at souvenirs. He conducted the tour in a very engaging way that made for a wonderful experience. Ample cold beverages were provided and the ride was smooth and reliable. I would definitely book another tour through this company, and especially with Arturo, again!

We did the Swim with the turtles and cenote tour. Cristina and Kiki picked us up on time from our resort. Everything was explained about the day and what would happen. Swimming with the turtles was awesome! We even seen stingrays. We then went to our cenote and had a wonderful time there. We had lunch at a local restaurant with authentic food. It was very good. The tour was better than advertised and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend using this company. Thank you Cristina and Kiki.

What an amazing excursion — truly the highlight of our trip! Christina and Ivan picked us up from our hotel right on time, and from that moment on everything was seamless. Our first stop was the Tulum ruins, where Christina gave an incredible tour. She explained the history and architecture in such a fun, engaging way that we learned a ton while also having a great time. After that, we headed to the Taak Bi Ha Cenote, and this part was unforgettable. Christina guided us through the cenote with snorkeling gear, even taking us safely into some of the cave entrances. She kept us informed, comfortable, and always safe — which is so important with all the cave formations. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Juanita’s restaurant, then made our way to Akumal Bay to snorkel with sea turtles. Christina and our bay guide, Anna, took us out where we saw dozens of turtles, plus a stingray and even a barracuda! From start to finish, the day was perfectly planned, super fun, and absolutely memorable. Highly recommend!
