Josh Showed Us the Best of Tulum - We took a private tour with Josh and he was fabulous, so personable, friendly and knowledgeable. Picked us up at our vacation rental, drove the turtles and introduced us to our guide for the 45 minutes in the ocean. He was waiting for us when we returned and helped us with our gear. We saw three turtles, rays, and numerous fish. It was the perfect amount of time in the water. We then went to a cave cenote and Josh guided us through the water, making sure we were all safe. Amazing! He was a great tour guide. He took us to the authentic lunch, which we really enjoyed. Amazing place to visit. I would highly recommend this private tour with Josh.

Scenic, safe, private tour, so many memories! - We did the Turtles + Cenote tour with Juan and a driver - - totally top notch. The day's forecast was very windy with rain on and off, but we trusted Juan with the plan and it was absolutely worth it. The turtles and sea life were abundant during our swim. We took his recommendation on which Cenote to explore and we had the entire area completely to ourselves to explore! Juan provided wetsuits for our Cenote portion which made it much more comfortable since the day was not as warm as planned. I am NOT a swimmer but felt completely at home with the equipment and structure of the tour. Communication from booking to pickup was flawless. Our driver (wish I remembered his name) was safe and courteous and stayed with the van so we could leave personal items without worry. They provided water and juices which was nice after all the swimming. This was our fifth trip to Mexico but first off-resort excursion and we would highly recommend the entire experience!

Amazing!! - We did a half-day private tour snorkeling with the sea turtles and visiting a cenote with Arturo as our guide. He was outstanding, and our experiences were fantastic! The cenote we visited had only one other family there and we enjoyed the jumping platforms and the zip line! I highly recommend the experience and Arturo in particular as a guide!

Amazing experience! - Fantastic tour. Our guide Joshua was amazing, the cenote (stalagmites and stalagmites was the highlight of our entire trip. Highly recommend Absolute adventure private tours, we passed by large tour groups that looked miserable, but these guys handled everything so we had absolutely nothing to worry about but hearing the history and stories of the area. 10/10!

Book it NOW! - You can stop searching for a tour company! Truly this was the easiest and best part of our trip. We chose Tulum, Turtles, and Centote (I'd do the 3 Centote if I could choose again) and loved it. Arturo was our guide and was fantastic. He didn't tell weird jokes or yell like other campy guides can do - I felt safe and taken care of. It's easy to book and communication was seamless. DO IT. Have fun and tell Arturo that the quilter from Oregon says HEY.

Great Tour! - Rodrigo, our driver, and Joshua, our guide, picked us up in a spacious van at our hotel in Playa del Carmen at 7am. We visited Tulum first, and really beat the crowd! There was a long line to enter as we were leaving. From there, we were given the choice between 3 cenotes. We chose Taak bi Ha, which is a fairly enclosed cenote. It was amazing! We stopped for lunch at Juanita's and then drove to Akumal Bay where Joshua set us up with a snorkeling guide. We saw so many sea turtles, plus a sting ray, lots of tropical fish, and a lobster. Joshua was an excellent guide throughout the entire day, and Rodrigo was a safe driver. Would highly recommend this tour company if you are interested in a private tour!

Stop what your doing right now and book a private tour! - We had the best time on our private tour! Juan was the absolute best tour guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the best day with him. So warm and welcoming to the point where it was almost like we had been friends for a long time! We saw lots of sea turtles and wildlife. The cenote was stunning and the lunch was absolutely delicious! Juan made sure we were safe and comfortable the whole time and never at any point did anything feel rushed, it was quite relaxing. Omar the driver kept got us to our destination safely and was very friendly. I would 1000% recommend Juan and Omar as your tour team. Everyone should book with this amazing tour company. I am going to tell everyone I know about this. We had a blast that was unforgettable. Whenever we come back to Mexico, we will be doing another tour for sure!
