Absolutely the Best Way to Explore Mexico - Tour Guide: Joshua Driver: Omar Tour: Tulum ruins, cenote, and Akumal Turtles Duration: 8HRs Party: 2x adults & 2x kids (5 & 7) Best way to explore Mexico. The absolute team arrived at hotel early ready for reception. I paid the remaining balance via VISA card (5% added fee - not bad). Easy communication with the absolute team via WhatsApp. Even had 2x kid booster seats for a van ride. Guided entry to all attractions. Bypassed multiple tourist bottlenecks. Tour guide remained with us the entire time expect when we snorkeled with turtles but as soon as we finished, Joshua was there. Driver dropped us off super close to attractions and secured our belongings in the van. Top notch way to do excursions in Mexico!!! Pay the premium price, well worth. Stress free trip! Guide handled it all and provided recommendations along the way.

Great day at Tulum, snorkeling and a cenote - We loved our day with Absolute Adventures! Juan was our tour guide, and he is the best! He was so knowledgeable and fun. He made sure everything went smoothly and knew how to avoid crowds and backups. He even knew all of the favorite photo spots and patiently took as many photos as we wanted. Be sure to take their advice to go to Tulum early - the line when we left was SO long, and it would have been miserable to have to wait that long. We originally booked the snorkeling with turtles trip, but we decided to switch to the reef snorkeling. The staff made it easy to make the change in advance. When we snorkeled, we didn't spend much time on the actual reef. We had expected to and hoped to see a lot of colorful fish. Instead the guide led us to an area with sting rays and sea turtles. It was very cool, but I'm just sharing so people know what to expect. The cenote was really neat! It was hard to choose which to go to, but we opted for Dos Ojos, and our kids enjoyed jumping off the cliff into the water. I'm glad we chose an outdoor cenote because the water was pretty chilly as it was. We probably would have been too cold to swim in a cave one for very long.

Family Fun!!! - This was such a fun tour. I would recommend it to anyone we had ages from six years old to 65 years old. We all loved it. Just want to thank Juan our tour guide. He did a great job. I was nervous about doing the cenote. I have a muscle disease in my legs and he was right there to help me and guide me through and get me in and out. Thanks for your encouragement and help Juan.

Fantastic tour!! - Extremely well organized with a knowledgeable, fun and friendly guide and driver. Juan took us to the Tulum ruins, dos ojos cenote and snorkeling in a lagoon with turtles. We had a delicious lunch and margaritas in the jungle near the cenotes. The communication with this tour company was extremely easy. This day was the best part of our vacation and I would 100% recommend this adventure group.

Book it now! - My family and I have been having a terrible time in Mexico! Today we went on an excursion and it was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Our driver was Enrique! Super nice, man of few words. Alex was our tour guide, and he redeemed Mexico for us! He is so smart! If you are interested in knowing the culture in Mexico, he’ll know it. You have to ask for them if you have a tour. I promise you, they’ll make sure you have a good experience. The ruins are great…with the guide. Otherwise, you don’t really know what you’re looking at. The cenote was beautiful and “refreshing”. We saw lots of fish through clear, still water. The sea turtles were everywhere! I will say, if it’s really windy, the water is choppy and makes it a little more difficult to see the turtles at times, but there were plenty of opportunities to see the sea turtles up close! Great experience.
