First Class Trip - As first time visitors to Mexico and wanting to explore historical sights we were unsure how to travel safely outwith our hotel in Playacar.
Therefore after reading reviews decided to book the express private tour to Tulum and it sure was the right decision !
We were picked up early from our hotel prompt at time arranged by Enrique driver and Joshus guide and conveyed to Tulum in an aircon vehicle, arriving there for gates opening at 8am. Joshua is a very polite,courteous, friendly, knowledgeable guide, who explained everything about the history of the site, during the walking tour.
Joshua was able to answer all.our questions during the very leisurely stroll round....nothing rushed or too much bother.
The site itself is really beautiful on the coast and remains are quite splendid.
On completing the tour we were given free time at the shops/market stalls, coffee shop at entrance.
Again, no rush, Joshua asked when we wanted to stay until and then when we were ready Enrique appeared in the vehicle at the exit, to return us straight back to hotel door.
Felt 100% safe throughout.
A great trip, thoroughly recommend Absolute Adventures for any trips in the area.
Thankyou

Awesome time visiting Mayan Ruins in Tulum! - My family took a private tour to see the Mayan ruins at Tulum. They raved about their guide Joshua, how knowledgeable he was, how helpful and friendly. They enjoyed the experience so much, we ended up booking another tour with Absolute Adventures the next day to swim with sea turtles, snorkel in a lagoon and swim in cenotes. We were lucky enough to get Joshua as our guide and since we were repeat customers, they even gave us a discount on the second tour. We had a blast. I would highly recommend Absolute Adventures if you want to do an excursion while in the Mayan Riviera area. And if you can, try to get Joshua as your guide.

Alex and Yomar gave the best Tulum tour! - 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!

Reserve your tour now - Juan is an incredible tour guide. After getting picked up at our resort, we arrived at Tulum at 8:00, and saw only about five other people. Juan was full of information and showed us the best spots to take photos. Even though the tour is called express, we never felt rushed and were able to spend as much time at Tulum as we wanted. The private tour and vehicle cost only a few dollars more than group tours making it a no brainer. Instead of sitting on a bus making stops at other resorts during group tours, we spent the time on the beach. Also, a group tour cannot compare to a great private tour.

Loved! - We loved this tour and our amazing guide, Alex! My review will echo others, but basically this is the perfect tour, getting in before the crowds and heat, getting a private tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide, and getting back to your resort to enjoy the rest of your day. My group complained a little about having to get up early but then effusively thanked me and gave kudos when they saw the horde of large tour busses coming in as we were leisurely walking out. We also can't praise Alex's tour enough and loved the white board! Highly recommend this experience for your Tulum visit!

Best option for families visiting Tulum! Take a private tour! - We are so glad that we chose to come early with just our family! Definitely worth the extra investment to be in a smaller group and come before the crowds.
Arturo was a fantastic guide! He had so much great information to share and answered all our questions.
Yosmar was a safe and efficient driver who stayed with the van and our belongings while Arturo took us through the Archaeological site.
I HIGHLY recommend that people bring umbrellas. I failed to bring ours and our little ones were melting. It is August and the sun is plentiful and shade is hard to find on the site. Arturo was so sweet and poured water on the kids heads to help them cool off and was always looking for any little shady spot where we could relax while he spoke.
My mom (78yrs old) has some mobility challenges, and she stayed home, worried it would be too hard for her with the heat. There is definitely a good amount of walking and stairs to climb. I looked for but didn’t see good options for people with wheelchairs, but perhaps there was an alternate entrance. Regardless there are no ramps up to the higher areas, only stairs. So, just be aware of this as you plan your trip.
Thanks to Arturo and Yosmar for helping our family learn so much and make amazing memories at Tulum!

Tulum tour - Juan gave the best tour! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We avoided all of the tourist lines and explored Tulum before the heat of the midday sun. I highly recommend this tour.

Great, informative family trip - This was an amazing tour. They confirmed, arrived on time, and the transportation vehicle was clean. Alex was extremely knowledgeable and provided so much information. He was very detailed and had a bag with samples of many of the things he was talking about which engaged my teens. Going in the morning and doing a private tour was great to avoid the heat and crowds. I would highly recommend this tour and company.
