AVIS ABSOLUTE ADVENTURE MEXICO

This was my 3rd time in Mexico and last two times I've booked a tour to go to pyramids and cenotes, loving the locations but hating a big tour bus experience. This time I knew I wanted to get it right and I sure did! Our van picked us up (4 of us) at our hotel right at the time as promised. Now, instead of going from one hotel to another to pick up a whole busload of people (our last experiences) we were on our way to a personalized tour. We had emailed ahead of time to say what we're looking to do and how, they picked the places and planned it all for us. The final cost was as much or even cheaper as it would have been to go with a tour bus but now we were back in our hotel after lunch instead of spending HOURS driving around for pick-ups, drop-offs and waiting around at random places for people to do their shopping and browsing around. Thank you Absolute Adventure!

We were looking for a private tour - not your usual "meet in the resort lobby and pick a plan from the upsellers" kind of trip. We found excellent reviews for Claire and Absolute Adventure Mexico and started our email communication. We're an adventurous bunch and wanted to cram as much as we could into one day - who likes car rides in Mexico, right? We decided on a swim with the turtles in Akumal and just 15 minutes from there you can swim in a fresh water cenote - gorgeous above and below water limestone formations. It was AMAZING! Plus we had lunch at a mayan restaurant!

My wife and I did a private tour of the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza and Coba. Tour guide - Claire - was great. Very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Private van and driver (Alvin). Long day - left resort at 6:30 am and got back at around 5:30 p.m. "Normal" package is one ruin and cenote visit, but they modified to fit our request. They provided snacks and drinks in van. Driver stayed with van so able to leave personal items in the van during our tours. Lunch included - we have a lovely lunch at a local restaurant featuring Mayan food. They also do private scuba trips. I believe they can basically do whatever you would like. Price is very reasonable given the personal attention and services provided. Would not hesitate to use again or recommend to others. They accommodate families with children. Worked out details via email in advance - which I would recommend as they are a smaller operation.

Our guide Marcel took us to 2 cenotes, Pet Cemetery and Jaguar, which were both great. Pet Cemetery was an underground cave that we could swim through, with interesting formations, both overhead and underwater. The water was a little chilly but the guide provided wetsuits and snorkel gear. He led us through the cave and pointed out interesting items. Jaguar was an outdoor cenote that we could zip line over. There were high sides that we could jump off of if we wanted. Then we had lunch at an authentic Mayan restaurant and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great day with Absolute Adventure. Our guide Chris was AMAZING! Super knowledgeable and very encouraging when I got super scared to go in the caves snorkeling. We started with Tulum which was breathtaking! From there we went snorkeling through the cenotes which was truly magical and I am thankful to Chris for pushing me to do this as I was scared at first. Then we stopped for lunch as a little place that had the most delicious corn tortillas (not to mention all the other food that was super yummy) ever! We finished off lunch with a little tequila then headed to snorkel with the turtles. We not only saw many turtles we also saw barracuda, sting rays, lobster and lots of other sea life. The private transportation was really nice and we felt safe leaving everything in our van with our driver which was nice so we didn't have to lug our bags around. Overall it was a really awesome day and I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone visiting the area.

We booked this tour based on previous TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. Claire was a fantastic tour guide and made our day extremely enjoyable. We wanted to go to Chichen Itza and were so happy we chose a private tour so it could be customized to our preferences. Lunch after in Valladolid was our favorite meal of the whole trip.

This was the best tour experience I have ever had. From the first email to the end of the tour. A group of my friends were in Playa del Carmen and we wanted a private tour experience to swim with turtles in Akumal and to swim in a Cenote. My first point of contact was with Claire. She returned emails promptly and answered all of my questions. I felt very confidant with booking this tour for us. Marcel was our guide and he was great! Super fun and very knowledgeable about the area. He engaged us in conversation and was very helpful. The water was a bit rough in Akumal and after a bit he went into shore with half the group but made sure we had a great guide to complete our swim. After the swim we went to the Pet Cemetary Cenote. Absolutely breathtaking! The lunch after was in the jungle. The best Mexican/Mayan food I have ever eaten. I would drive down there just for the food. The meal was included in the tour. Marcel joined us at our table and we had great conversation and laughs. We were never pushed to hurry and went at our own pace. I travel frequently and I am always dependent on reviews like this to find the safest and friendliest service out there when visiting other countries. I also book business travel for work so knowledgeable in the travel industry. This company will book private toyrs for as little as 2 people. We had 8 in our party. You cannot go wrong with Absolute Adventure Mexico!

Our family recently chartered Absolute Adventure Mexico for a day of adventure near Playa del Carmen, ages from 70 to 11. It was an unforgettable experience for all. We toured the ruins at Tulum, snorkeled the reef, and snorkeled/swam in a cenote. Co-owner, Claire, was a great help with the planning, registration, and billing---very personalized service. Thanks, Claire. Tour guide, Chris, was fantastic with his knowledge, abilities, and humor. He is an expert cave diver, so the journey through the cenote was especially exciting; he took us to some seldom visited areas. Pick up at our resort was early so we avoided the crowds at Tulum; they were arriving as we were leaving. Beautiful location and amazing historical details. On to snorkeling near Playa. Thanks to our van driver for great, tight driving, and getting up-front parking everywhere. Chris helped "gear us up" and we hopped into the panga for a short boat ride out to the reef---not easy on a rather choppy day at sea. The 2 young men running the panga knew what they were doing. We anchored and snorkeled the reef for about 1 hour. Even our 11 and 13 year old granddaughters were very brave and conquered the seas. Lots of fish and creatures. Then it was off to the Juanita Restaurant in the jungle near the cenote. Great lunch followed by a shot of Chris' own tequila. And finally the cenote swim. We returned to the resort at about 5 pm. I highly recommend Absolute Adventure Mexico. They are a small tour company that values nature and the environment, and they provide very professional and personal service. I found them by perusing Trip Advisor. You should, too.

This is our second time to Cancun on our second visit with Absolute Adventures and each time it makes our total vacation a success. This time we were traveling with a different family and wanted them to experience this awesome tour. Although our friend said she would not snorkel, since she did not like her last experience with a different tour group, as she got to know our tour guide, Marcel, she changed her mind and as she said "had the adventure of her life". We were two families one with two 20 year old daughters and the other with 2 daughters 11 and 9. Every person in the group loved their experience. From our last experience our girls knew it was worth being picked up at 6:30 from our hotel since waking up this early helps you explore the area before the large busses of tourists take over the beautiful sights. We explored the turtles before the crowds showed up and then went to a beautiful cenote which is the highlight of any trip to this region and must not be missed! Another highlight was lunch at a Mayan Restaurant where they showed our girls how to climb the tree and have fresh coconut for lunch. To our surprise all four girls ordered the Mayan Special to really try the local food. Without question this tour and then one we took last year made our trips to Cancun very very special. Thank you Claire for all your help and for offering an affordable adventure - the trip is about the same for a big bus tour but offers you so much more. Your tour guides are awesome!

We made the Tulum + snorkelling + cenote tour and loved it. Our guide was Claire and she was very knowledgeable and professionnal. The tour is planned with great attention to details so we were always ahead of the crowds in each location, and in tulum before the heat really sets in. We were very lucky to see turtles and a lots of fishes during the snorkel in front of the tulum site. We were also happy to have a wetsuit provided for the cenote as the water was cool. We had a delicious meal at a restaurant owned and operated by a mayan family. We recommended this compagny to our family and plan on booking with them again for another tour when we go back.

We booked a sea turtle and "pet cemetery" cenote adventure. We were two families, a party of 10, staying at two different hotels in Cancun. Marcelo was our guide, and took amazing care of us. They picked us both up in a timely manner. It was WONDERFUL to be on a PRIVATE tour by ourselves! We loved diving with the sea turtles, and thought swimming in the pet cemetery cenote was spectacular! To finish off the great day, they took us to a typical Mayan restaurant for lunch. All included we paid approx. $119 per person. I'd highly recommend it to all!! Don't forget an underwater camera or underwater cover. You will want to take pictures!!

We had an excellent day with Absolute Adventure Mexico. We were a group of 9 (2 families with adult children) and we all loved our day with guide Marcelin and our van driver. They picked us up on time, got us to Tulum and conducted our tour before the crowds arrived which was wonderful as we got to take photos that would not have been possible with tons of people around (as we were leaving there were lines of people waiting to get in). The van was new, clean and stocked with a variety of cold drinks. We were taken to a cenote that was absolutely breathtaking and again not at all crowded. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and then snorkeled with sea turtles. Wet suits and snorkel gear were provided and at all times we were well taken care of. Our tour was conducted at our pace--we could stay as long as we wanted at each stop. It was an amazing day that we thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend this tour company and will refer them to my friends. Thank you!

My sister and I went on a private tour to the ruins and had originally booked a tequila tasting. The morning of the tour we were not feeling quite up to a bunch of tequila so we asked our guide, Arturo, if it would be possible to switch to go to a cenote instead. Arturo was so accommodating and was able to change for us. We had an amazing time touring the ruins, swimming in the cenote, and having a great lunch afterwards. Arturo was super knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, and most of all delightful to spend time with. We would for sure book another tour (and request Arturo) on our next trip to Tulum!!!

Absolute Adventures set up an excellent day for us, totally worth the money. Picked up on time, let me stop to get coffee. Arrived early in Coba, tickets were taken care of. Made it to the ruins before most other tourists, could not have been more pleased. Snacks and drinks in the car. Went to a cenote that was not super packed with toursists, and then had lunch at a Mayan restaurant on the way home. We were back at our resort around 3:30 with a little bit of beach time left in the day. Overall an excellent day, would definitely use Absolute Adventures again.
