Highlight of our trip! - This tour was the highlight of our trip! We were two families, with kids ages 8-15 and everyone loved it. Online booking was super easy, prices were reasonable, and communication from the company was great. Alex was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were picked up promptly and the van was clean and comfortable. They had it stocked with waters, juices and beers for us. Tulum was a great option to see ruins with the little kids. We chose the cave cenote and WOW. We could have stayed there all day. Alex had water proof flashlights for us to swim with which really helped us explore and see more (none of the other tour guides had those for their groups). After the cenote we had a fantastic lunch at the family owned restaurant onsite at the park where the cenote was located. We highly recommend this company and would absolutely use them again!

Amazing private tour - We had the best day today with Alex and Omar. We first went to Tulum and Alex shared some amazing Mayan knowledge with us. After Tulum we went to the cenote which was amazing. 😍 It was our first time snorkeling and honestly, incredible doesn't describe it well enough. We then went and had a delicious lunch before coming back to the resort. The private tour was absolutely the right choice for us. We could go at our pace, ask questions, and it was so nice to have Alex with us throughout. Highly recommend this company and hopefully you get Alex as your guide. 🩷

AMAZING - Our guide Jacob was amazing. He hung around and had lunch with us, held on to those who couldn't swim and we're still scared in the cenote.

Awesome Tulum, lagoon and cenote tour - Our family had an amazing time with this private tour. Joshua was really awesome and took so many pictures for us and he knew which spot to take pics! The tour started early and it was SO worth it. We beat all the crowds and we enjoyed each sites fully!! Joshua was very knowledgeable about Mayan ruins and history and gave us enough time to spend at each site. We enjoyed relaxing at Laguna Kaan luum and the highlight was snorkeling at Cenote Taak Bi Ha. It was so incredible!! Lunch at Juanita was very yummy too! Joshua was so friendly and was a great tour guide and Enrique was an excellent driver! We had a fantastic time!! Thank you!

Fun for all ages - Alex was an incredible guide. From pick up to returning. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with the kids who were struggling with the humidity. The cenote was an amazing experience. Jumping and swimming into the cenote was thrilling and relaxing. The tour took us too an excellent restaurant after the cenote.

Shared Magic - Our recent tour with Absolute Adventure Mexico exceeded our expectations (2 adults, & kids 15, 12). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a private tour as it saves time and provides a more intimate experience. Don't go with the crowded tours advertised at the resorts!!! Our pickup and drop-off were timely and comfortable; we had just the right amount of time at each location without feeling rushed. The Tulum ruins and history are fascinating and Cenote Nicte-Ha was pure magic. The fabulous, fresh lunch and margaritas at Restaurante Juanita was the perfect way to end our tour. Alex (guide) and Omar (driver) were courteous and professional, and Alex's knowledge of the area and Mayan history is vast. He is a credentialed, experienced tour guide and fluent English speaker. Alex made our trip to Tulum truly magical! He believes in the importance of shared experiences to connect us and we wholeheartedly agree. His love for the local history, and culture, and joy for sharing it with others is a special experience not to be missed on your visit to the area. However, if you don't end up getting Alex as your guide, it's apparent that Absolute Adventure values quality tours and guides, so you are in good hands. We will book another tour with Absolute Adventure when we return to Mexico and specifically request Alex. Thank you, Alex and Omar!

Private tour 10/10 - We did a private tour to the Tulum Ruins, Kaan Luum lagoon, & Cenote Corazón. It was a nice mix of some beautiful sites, & a perfect amount of time. Our guide Juan was awesome, we loved chatting with him & it was as if we knew each other. We shared a lot of laughs. Our driver was great as well & very safe. The sites were incredible & Juan was very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend!
