Amazing day with Manuel touring Tulum and Coba! He was a wonderful guide and lots of fun to be around. He took some amazing photos of our family and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch together. So glad we took the private tour - very worth it!

My husband, myself and 3 young adult children went on the private archaeological tour to Coba and Tulum Mayan ruins. Everything was perfect and as advertised. Pick up at hotel was seamless. Early Tulum entry was much appreciated, having been there before in the crowds. This was my first time to Coba and it was the highlight of the trip. The Tour guide was very informative and answered all my questions about Mayan and Mexican history/geography. He was a wonderful host and took wonderful pictures of family. Definitely Excellent trip.

If you are hesitant about the cost of booking a private tour- let me reassure you, I was as well. With that being said this was the best decision I made during this holiday. Our guide Jose and driver Willie were waiting for us in the lobby before our pickup time. It was just my partner and I and we all meshed together really well!

FANTASTIC! Our guide Manuel was tri-lingual, extremely knowledgeable, interesting and has a wonderful sense of humor! We had the ruins mostly to ourselves and we spent as much time as we needed to get every picture and every question answered. The Cenote was fabulous! Clear cool water, bats in the cave and again we had the place almost all to ourselves. Lunch here in the jungle was some of the best Mexican food we have ever eaten. Then we were off to the beach to snorkel with turtles we saw 5....big ones but also one little cute young turtle. The beach was beautiful and we were exhausted from all the fun and excitement so we packed it in early and Manuel obliged and we were able to take our time coming off the beach and heading back to our resort. Pasquale our driver was an excellent chauffeur and stayed with our belongs and kept them safe. We felt privileged as he is of Mayan descent and speaks the Maya language as well as Spanish. Our guide Manuel and us learned a new fact of how Playa del Carmen was named from Pasquale and we all delighted in this new tidbit. He picked us up curb side and had refreshments at the ready! It was a spectacular day...we had planned to make this our last trip to the Yuccatan but we are now planning to return and do an alternate tour with the company!

Right from the start our driver and guide(Juan & Rodrigo) were amazing!They were sure the entire day we were safe, comfortable and ready for what the day would bring. The Coba ruins were incredible and the experience the very informative. I cannot stress enough how awe-inspring being able to see and touch the ruins was. Our guide was informative and had an answer for any question we had. After the ruins it was a quick trip to the cenote. They had extra gear to make sure our swimming experience went perfectly. The lunch after was the best food I've had all week too! Thank you all so much for helping provide this experience, especially to Juan and Rodrigo who were extremely nice and personable. 100% would do this again.

Booking a private tour was more expensive but worth it. Juan and the driver, Willie picked us up at 730am. It was just my boyfriend and I and Juan’s personality meshed perfectly with ours so the ride to Tulum was not awkward or boring. We arrived at the ruins before it was busy and bypassed the line because we already had tickets. Our tour guide shared the myths and truths about Mayan culture and made us laugh along the way. He knew the best spots for the best picture and was happy to take some for us. After the ruins we had a choice of 3 cenotes to choose from... I chose the more beautiful one as my boyfriend wasn’t participating in this. Again it was only me and one other person in the cenote. It was a truly peaceful and wonderful experience. We had an authentic Mexican lunch after and then headed to akumal beach to swim with the turtles. It was well worth the money to have a one on one guide and get in to the places before it got busy. Juan was great... it felt like being with a friend from home.

I have booked multiple private tours in the past and this one has now jumped to the top of best ever. We have visited Coba before, but this was the first time for one of the people in our party. There were 2 adults and 3 young adults. I am a diver and have dove probably 20 different Cenotes in Mexico. The rest of the group are non divers and have never seen a Cenote. The day started early 6:45 am pick up Manuel (the guide) and Rodrigo (the driver) arrived on time. After introductions and a description of the day off we went. Manuel had a goal for the day first to see Nohuch Mul the largest temple at Coba and to visit to Cenotes before the crowds.

We hired a private tour for three and had Manuel as well as pasqual as a driver. Very informative guide and pace was dictated by a handicap. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and cost was appropriate for the service. Highly recommend this small group for tours.

Wow, where to start. This tour was the best! We had Juan as our guide and Willie as our driver, both of them were phenomenal. We did the Coba and snorkeling tour and added on the excursion to akumal to see the turtles, they were super accommodating in creating a custom tour for us. Juan was HILARIOUS and awesome, we had super great chats and he tailored the historical info at the ruins to match our knowledge level and my interests in Mayan culture. We were the first to get in the ruins and we felt like we had the whole site to ourselves practically. Snorkeling in the cenotes was awesome as well, we had the whole cenote to ourselves at one point and it was magical. Lunch was fun, it felt like we were just hanging with our friend and chatting while eating. The trip to Akumal was amazing, seeing sea turtles in their habitats was just glorious. Honestly, this tour was the highlight of our time in Mexico and I'm so happy we booked and got to experience the tour with Juan! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

We booked this tour for our family f 11 (6 adults; 5 kids 3-15) based upon the Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed, we were pleased in every way. Our guide Hector and the driver Rodrigo did an awesome job dealing with a large and varied group. Hector got to know each of us as best he could in a short time, he made special efforts to deal directly with each of the kids as well. Hector was extremely knowledgeable and patient. His descriptions of Tuluum were interesting and the historical references added greatly to the experience. The Cenote and zipline were a highlight for the kids...especially the 3 year old who loved flying over the trees. It was a pretty rough day at the snorkeling sight with wind and waves but again the guides made it as easy for us as they could. Even with the turbidity of the waters we were able to see Turtles, fish and rays.

We had a great tour of 3 cenotes with Juan Diaz this week. Our transportation was smooth, all equipment was provided, Juan’s advice in choosing 3 cenotes was helpful, and his guidance was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour!

W Whitney hace 6 años

We had a wonderful experience with Juan and Pascual! There was a group of 10 of us. The transportation was perfect for the drive and included waters, beers, sodas etc. We had a very organized and fun day snorkeling in the cenotes and then we enjoyed the zip line and jumping into the water. We had lots of pictures taken! The lunch is really good and a fun experience! Would definitely recommend and do it again.

My family visits Mexico frequently and have gone on all sorts of "excursions" from the resort. This visit, we received a recommendation to try a private tour and we found Absolute Adventure. The experience far surpassed any group tour we have ever been on. Juan was our guide and he is exceptionally engaging. Even the drive time to get to the various destinations was fun and informative.

My wife and I are just leaving from a nine day vacation in Cancun (Hotel zone), and this excursion was the highlight of our trip. We did another snorkeling excursion through a different company as well, but it could not compete with this.

Interesting gentle history of the location and the various sites within it. Some great detailed information shared. The tour was a a good pace. Some walking but not a great deal where it was for long extended periods of time. Some surfaces were uneven so good walking/climbing shoes would be important.

This was mine and my husband's second time in Mexico and second time booking a tour with Absolute Adventure Mexico. We have only had wonderful times both tours we took with this company. There is something to be said about having a PRIVATE tour with extremely knowledgeable guides. Visiting Coba was exciting and adventurous. We climbed to the top of the large Mayan Pyramid, (the views were beautiful), but a little nerve-wracking climbing up. Juan was incredibly kind about my slow pace and I never felt rushed or like I was holding him or my husband up. All along the entire tour of the historical site, Juan, our guide, was knowledgeable, very nice, answered any questions and made the tour exciting, showing us a few yet to be excavated ruins off the beaten path. We next went to swim in Cenotes, which personally were very neat but a little creepy for me. Turns out I do not like being in underground caves, but that is a personal preference. They were very neat to see and be in, but perhaps not for me.

This tour was one of our favorite things we did on our vacation. We were on a cruise that stopped in Cozumel and we decided to book a tour to see the Tulum ruins with turtle and cenote snorkeling. The company was wonderful with following up and answering all of our logistical questions. We missed the ferry we had planned to take from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen and our guides patiently waited for us to catch the next one. Our guides, Manuel and Pascual were knowledgable, accommodating, and made it wonderfully fun for all of us. The cenotes are not to be missed!

Juan and Rodrigo we great we did Tulum, a cenote 2 eyes had a great local lunch and akulmal with see turtles. A private guide is the only way to go we beat the crowds. Juan has a master's degree so he knew the history very well and was awesome helping my 7 year daughter learn how to snorkel. This was the highlight of our week and we stayed at the best hotel in the area grand velas I can't wait to go back and do Coba and chichen itza book it !!!

My boyfriend and I did a tour to the Tulum ruins, snorkeling and cave cenote in January 2020 with Hector as our guide. Hector and our driver arrived on time, 7:00 a.m,. at our hotel in Playa. Hector kept us informed as the day unfolded, everything was well organized and occurred as expected. It was great to have such a well informed guide in Tulum to explain the history and meaning behind what we were seeing. There was so much to see and learn there. Really enjoyed that part and being there before the crowds. Was wonderful to see the rays and large turtle while snorkelling and the cave cenote was a great surprise, so different than anything I had ever experienced. Hector was kind, patient, funny, professional, and just a very nice and interesting person, very grateful to have met him. We do not normally enjoy tours very much due to the crowds and very scripted itinerary. If you feel the same, this is the tour for you. Would highly recommend and will do a different one in the future if we are lucky enough to visit the area again.

This was the best thing we did on our trip to Mexico. We originally booked because my youngest son got very sick on our trip to Hawaii and had been unable to swim with sea turtles, which was his dream. In order to ensure we could see turtles, we decided to book a private tour as we thought we would have a better chance to see them and it was one of the sole purposes of coming to Mexico.

We started out the tour at the Tulum Ruins with our guide Manuel. He was so knowledgeable and really did a great job explaining the history. I’m glad we got there early before the crowds.

C Curtis hace 6 años

This was seriously a highlight of my life. We actually went to 4 different cenotes, not 2. Our tour guide Hector was great. He was passionate, knowledgeable, funny, honest, and an all around joy to spend time with. Our driver Roberto was wonderful as well. The combo of them made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. Snorkeling in freshwater caves was absolutely beautiful. I 1000% would recommend doing this tour with Absolute Adventure and with Hector!

I’ve been on a lot of tours with a lot of you guides but I was so impressed with Juan- he was easily one of the most personable tour guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Our trip to Tulum and snorkeling in a cenote was filled with informative conversation and an eagerness to make the trip the best and most enjoyable trip he could provide for us- we had a great time!

J Jen hace 6 años

My 2 girl friends and I enjoyed this tour with Hector our guide and Rodrigo our driver. Both were pleasant, knowledgeable and on time! Hector provided a wealth of information about the Mayan culture and Mexican culture in general. We had a great day and a great experience. Very easy company to communicate with. I asked to change the pick up time and it was not a problem at all. Note that some resorts do not allow the tour company onto the premises for pick up so you have to walk to the gate.

Claire provided our family with an outstanding tour. We visited Akumel to snorkel with turtles then a Cenote. She was very accommodating to our family which include 3 generations and varying abilities. Everything was clean, well-organized and on time. She gave just the right amount of explanation. We ended with a lovely lunch at an Aztec restaurant. Excellent tour. Highly recommended.

Hector was our tour guide and Rodrigo was our driver. First, you pay a little extra for a private tour but it is no worries the entire day. You avoid crowds, you are not waiting on anyone else and your schedule is your own. It is worth paying the extra to go with this company. We were never rushed in any part of our excursion. I am sure there was a schedule to follow but it did not feel like it. If you are familiar with travel to Playa del Carmen, you can do each of these activities on your own but if this is your first time and you want no hassles, I would highly recommend. We got good history on the Mayans and their culture, we saw turtles and stingrays, and the cenote was impressive. The lunch was delicious as well and included in your package. This was a no hassle, no worry adventure. Communication with the company over email was easy. I think couples probably don't need but if you have a family, this was definitely the way to go. It worked perfectly for us. We would use them again for excursions.

My family and I had an AMAZING experience with Absolute Adventure. We were greeted at out hotel by our guide Claire. We toured the Mayan ruins in Tulum and Claire's knowledge of the area and the Mayan civilization was outstanding. Next we snorkled in an amazing underground cenote, followed by a delicious lunch prepared by a local Mayan Family. This was an experience that we could have never found on our own. Lastly we went to Akumal to snorkel with sea turtles and other marine life. This section of the tour was just as impressive as we were able to view many turtles, sting rays and other sea creatures. I highly recommend Absolute Adventure and I will be a repeat customer for many years to come. Book your trip NOW!

The best excursion I've ever been on! Our group (4 of us) booked a private chichen itza tour with a stop for lunch and shopping in Valladolid. We were picked up right on time (6a) at hour hotel (Hard Rock Rivieria Maya) and we stopped at a local convience store to grab a small breakfast-on-the-go (paid for by Absolute Adventure). Then we hit the road for a 2-3 hour trek to the site. Our tour guide was awesome, he was kind and friendly and read the room well. We were tired from getting up early so he let us sleep with no distractions for a portion of the drive. When we were finally awake, he was talkative and told us stories and great info about the areas we were passing through. He taught us some fun Spanish words and phrases. He was just awesome, not sure how else to describe the experience with him. This is the best part, as we arrive at chichen itza he explains that he is going to get out before us to get to the front of the ticket line and our driver will escort us up to the waiting area. We didn't have to wait in line for tickets or anything!!! He took care of all the accommodations at the site and we were literally the first people into the site! We got so many great pictures and because we were the first in there was no crowds to ruin the pictures! He took us through the whole site (which is way more than just the temple) and gave us some awesome info and history that was fascinating! It was so cool to see some of things we learned about in grade school. The site and tour were top notch and I'm so glad that we choose Absolute Adventure and a private tour, it was so worth it! And our guide went way above and beyond, on our way back to the hotel in the evening we explained to him that we were having trouble buying SIM cards (for cell service) at the gas stations and asked him if he would be willing to help. He had no problem helping us and stopped at a gas station on the way back and help us get sorted with SIM cards and applicable service plan! We were so grateful as it was extremely difficult to do without knowing the language. Tour guide and driver were simply awesome and I can't recommend this company enough.
