Breathtaking cenotes, Tulum and the best guide in the business - We couldn’t have had a better day and experience. With several companies to choose from, we chose Absolute Adventures because of how friendly and helpful Claire was in addition to all of the great reviews, which were 100% accurate. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky that our guide was Juan Jose and driver Omar. Juan was deeply knowledgeable and kind, and simply a cool dude. It was like we had been friends for years. His tour of Tulum was informative and fun, and he chose the perfect breathtaking cenotes for us to visit. Wonderful and beautiful natural attractions in Tulum and the cenotes + the best guide and driver there could be = a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget and can’t recommend highly enough!

Tulum Ruins , lagoon and cenote was amazing! - This trip was amazing with one of the best tour guides in the business “JJ” and his driver “Omar”! He got us to the Mayan Ruins before all the crowds and gave us the most in depth tour with a vast knowledge of the Mayan culture and history! We then went for a swim in a Lagoon and a cenote where he was there with us the whole step of the way! We then had a wonderful lunch in Akumal! What an excursion it was!

A fascinating tour and one of the best guides ever. - Excellent tour in every way. We took the complimentary ferry provided by Virgin Voyages from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. Our guide Juan P was on time to pick us up at the Playa ferry port, and Omar, our driver, was ready a block away to start the tour. Tulum was, as expected, spectacular, all the more so with the engaging commentary provided by Juan. Besides the valuable information provided by Juan, he was very strategic in helping us avoid much of the line and finding shady places at Tulum to fill us in on what we were experiencing. The following snorkeling in a nearby Cenote was not only scenically fascinating but very refreshing after a fairly hot morning at Tulum. We then had a delicious lunch at a charming local restaurant.

Again, there are so many things to see in this region. - A very nice visit, early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the hot weather in Tulum and before the rush to discover two cenotes. Claire is a quality guide who knows Maya history and culture very well.

Great time seeing Tulum! - Great experience! With our tour, we were able to learn a lot about Tulum while we toured it. Our guide, Arturo, was amazing -- very friendly, and very knowledgeable! We also felt very safe, as there was a dedicated driver who stayed with the vehicle and our belongings. We snorkeled in a Cenote, and our kids loved jumping in from the cliff. Our tour ended with a great meal near the Cenote... couldn't be happier!

A wonderful time with Juan AKA "JJ" AKA "Antonio" - The entire experience was amazing. From the booking process, to the email follow up by Claire (one of the owners), to the half day spent visiting the Tulum ruins, cenote and lunch in a typical local restaurant (with the added benefit of the adorable puppy Tula). Juan is an excellent and very personable guide. He is knowledgeable and funny, and made our experience even better. I would highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico and Juan if you are traveling to the Cancun area. Muchas gracias!

Fantastic - Arturo did a wonderful job during the Mayan ruin experience. It was great having him provide information and the historical context while exploring the city. Would recommend him for small group tours.

Private, Not Crowded, Personable Experience! - My husband and I toured the Mayan Ruins in Tulum and went to the most beautiful cave cenote. Juan was very personable and knowledgeable and made the day fun! Omar was a great driver and the van was comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this trip! I have been to Mexico many times and haven’t seen anything like it!

Tulum tour, cenote and Mayan lunch - After an on-time departure from the hotel with Claire, we left for the city of Tulum, the visit took place in the conditions that we had requested with all the possible explanations to best understand this city. After a complete visit we took the road towards the cenote to refresh ourselves and see some wonderful underwater things. To finish we went to a small restaurant well known to the guide, as well as well-informed opinions of the dishes and drinks to choose from we were able to satisfy ourselves before returning directly to our hotel In conclusion, a great day full of discovery awaits you.
