Great driver + great guide = great day! - We had a wonderful experience on our private tour to Chichen Itza and Valladolid with our very conscientious driver Enrique and expert guide, Cristina. Absolute Adventure's suggestion of going early in the morning is well worth it. They arrived on time and we were one of the first couples to enter the sight that morning. Cristina carried an enormous amount of knowledge about Chichen Itza and we were more than happy to learn as much as we could. We followed the tour up with an included lunch in Valladolid and a mini tour around the town square along with a tour of the impressive San Bernardino de Siena Cathedral.

Great for bigger families - This tour was amazing! We went on a 10 person guided tour to Chichen Itza with our tour guide Juan. He was extremely informative, and taught us a lot about the area.
Technically, our whole party was 12 people, but the extra two were little ones (a 21 month old and a 3 month old). The tour accommodated the little ones really well. There were plenty of bathroom stops, and my sister had a fairly easy time feeding her 3 month old.
We requested two car seats a head of time, and including the two car seats and our whole party, there happened to be lot's of space. The tour came with morning snacks (coffee/juice and gas station snacks), afternoon snacks (chips and a soft drink), and lunch (a Mexican restaurant with amazing food! Follow your guides recommendations for food, and you will not be disappointed).
Over all 10/10 would recommend to family and friends.

Great tour of Chichen Itza! - We had a private day tour of Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Valladolid and couldn't be happier! Having everything organized and ready to go allowed us to beat the crowds (and heat). Cristina was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and wonderful, and answered all our questions, while Omar was a safe, efficient, and courteous driver. We highly recommend Absolute Adventure!

Excellent tour of Chichen Itza - We had a wonderful time touring Chichen Itza and exploring Valladolid with Absolute Adventure! Our driver, Yosmer, provided an excellent smooth trip, and our guide, Josh, was so knowledgeable! We learned so much about the ruins and the people at Chichen Itza. We also enjoyed the provided snacks and drinks, and the excellent restaurant we had lunch at in Valladolid. We definitely recommend this company for private tours!

Fantastic Tour to Chitzen Itza - We used absolute Adventures for 2 seperate tours while we were in Mexico and it was the best choice we could of made! We chose private tours and we would use them again! The communication was spot on, they were on time, super organized, and reasonably priced for the care and services!
Our first tour was to Chitzen Itza, the three of us were picked up on time at 615, (it sounds early but it was 100% the best choice) the drive is long but they offered a stop for coffee and a pastry as well as bathroom breaks along the way. We arrived when there was hardly any people on the site. We were able to get many great pictures and Joshua was so knowledgeable! We all learnt so many things about the history of the Mayans and the area it was great. He was also very mindful of how hot it was and made sure we had breaks in the shade because it is HOT! (Another reason to go early). He was super organized, tickets all ready to go and was great at explaining the process or where we were going next! They had ice cold water and drinks and we ordered a few beer for the long trip. We than went to Valladolid and ate at an AMAZING resturant in the city. We spent some time exploring the square and the surrounding area. They were very knowledgeable about all the things to see and made the day so great. I also have to mention, KiKa our amazing driver. Some of the roads and areas were so busy and nuts but he always found a great place to park and we always felt safe.
If your looking for a company with amazing people, thats super organized and great at communication, please use absolute adventure! You really won't be sad you did!

Excellent small group tour. - This tour was excellent value for money. Alex the tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a ton of interesting information. They suggested the early morning tour which required a 6am pick up from our hotel. But it was worth it to miss the crowds and explore the site while it was still relatively cool. The site itself is quite amazing

Exceptional tours and fantastic experiences in Mexico - We did 3 full day tours with Absolute Adventure (Tulum, Chechen Itza, Ek Balam).
Our guides Christina and Arthuro were fantastic. They explained us lot of historical events, answered to so many questions we had on Mexico. They took care of us when swimming in the denotes and when we climbed the Ek Balam temple. The restaurants for lunch were also well chosen : good Mexican foods, pleasant places.
Our driver (Marius) was also perfect !
Don't hesitate to book a tour with Absolute Adventure !

Wonderful Chichen Itza Experience - Alex and Enrique were awesome! Alex was extremely knowledgeable and was wonderful with both our children. This tour was perfect from the planning to the delivery back to our hotel, everything was well communicated and was exactly as described. I can't recommend enough.

Fantastic Trip - Our family enjoyed a wonderful day at Chichen Itza, followed by the Oxman cenote and lunch in Villadolid, with this group. Cristina was an enthusiastic, wonderful tour guide and we really appreciated spending time with her in these magical destinations. I highly recommend getting picked up from the resort at the earliest time offered in order to avoid the heat and crowds at Chichen Itza (especially with kids). I’m sure all of the centers offered are wonderful, but you can’t go wrong with Oxman. The water color was spectular, and I would return to Yuctan someday even just for exploring new cenotes.
