AVIS ABSOLUTE ADVENTURE MEXICO

Day 1 - snorkelling with turtles and cenote tour. Wow what a fantastic day! There were 7 of us; ages 12-82 and we all had a marvellous time. I was so impressed with the planning that Chris did prior to our tour. The restaurant he took us to (very very small village) was out of this world - in fact, our resort food seems sub-par after that lunch. They cenotes were incredible and Chris took the time to ensure we had the cenote to ourselves which was so enjoyable.

On our recent visit to Mexico, and although the resort we stayed at - Mayan Place - offers many tours, we booked, before arriving in Mexico, a full day tour by private guide with Chris of Absolute Adventures. We are very happy that we did this as the price was reasonable and we did not have to tour with a bus load of other people. Chris is a great young man whose passion for making sure his customers are happy is more than evident. Chris was promptly at the Mayan Palace at 7:00 a.m., however, the main gate would not let him into the resort to meet us at the reservation desk. At about 7:10 I called him (he had tried to reach me but I had my phone off until I turned it on to call him) and was told they wouldn’t let him enter so we took a cab from check-in to the front gate - $5 – silly and outrageous and our only complaint about the resort!!! Once we met Chris, we took off for our private tour of:

Chris took my husband and I on the turtle snorkel and cenote tour. When Chris picked us up and shortly stopped to buy us fresh juice from a roadside vendor I had a feeling I had made a good decision to book this private tour. And when we got to Akumal beach and saw the other tours herding their crowds we knew we had made the right choice. Chris found us turtles and guided us through the reefs for a very enjoyable snorkel. He then took us to the pet cemetery cenote which utterly captivated us. Finished the day with a great lunch and he even made a special stop for us to check out a beach club we are planning on visiting. I would very much recommend choosing Chris for your tours.

I booked the tour for the sea turtles and cenote snorkeling for my mom, son and myself. I wanted a private service so that we didn't have to fight crowds. Chis made that possible for us! We did have to get picked up at 7:30AM, but it was worth not being around a bunch of people. Be prepared for about a 45 minute drive to get to wear the turtles are from Playa del Carmen. We saw about 5-6 large turtles and they were pretty cool. There were also some small reefs with a few fish but not a lot. Chris was very friendly and professional I would highly recommend booking a private tour through Absolute.

Me, my wife and another couple booked a day with absolute adventure for the second time in playa. We did the snorkel with sea turtles, snorkel in a cenote, ATV ride and zip line tour. We had Chris as our guide, again, and had the time of our lives! He has a way of making the day spectacular. He took pictures at the exact right time and knew us from a previous visit to Mexico, so he had the the day planned perfectly to meet our crazy needs.

If I could give this company 10 stars, I would. If you are thinking of doing any tour in the Playa del Carmen or Cancun area, CHOOSE THEM! Hands down, one of the best tour experiences I have ever had.

We booked a private tour with Absolute Adventure Mexico as we wanted to visit Coba with friends. What was great was that we also wanted to snorkel and see the sea turtles at Akumal as you need to do this on an organised tour now, and we were able to combine the two as one trip and for a great price.Arturo our guide and Rodrigo our driver picked us up at our hotel at 6:30am. It was a bit of an early start, but it was well worth it. We got to Coba fairly early and we beat the crowds. The first part of the tour was walking with a guide, Mario who was very knowledgeable and told us all about Coba and the history. Arturo was taking photos as we went along. On the second part, we went on bike taxis firstly down to the big temple (I only climbed 10 steps!) and then some of the other ruins on the way back. Arturo was very knowledgeable. The whole tour here was excellent and made even better as for the most of it, we felt like we had the place to ourselves - fantastic.After the tour we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. The food and service was fabulous and we chatted to Arturo about Mexico.We then made our way to Akumal. It's changed quite a lot there now. We snorkelled there a few years back before the regulations came in force. We still snorkelled off the beach with a guide just for our small group. It was quite difficult keeping up as only the guides wear fins, but we did see a few turtles which what we wanted. All in all a fabulous day, I would highly recommend booking with this company. Effortless booking process and we got some free photos as well.

An early start proved to be worthwhile to avoid the crowds and heat of the day. The vehicle was comfortable with plenty of space for the 3 of us. Our excellent driver was considerate and looked after our rucksacks whilst visiting the various sites.

This trip was one of the best I’ve ever done, anywhere! Our guide, Arturo, was a perfect gent and really friendly and knowledgable. The highlight was swimming in the crystal clear waters of a cenote - amazing. The tour around Tulum was marred a little by torrential rain and high winds, so we didn’t spend quite as long there as I would have liked. All in all, highly recommended!

My wife and I booked the Tulum / Coba trip with Absolute Adventures, and added a cenote visit as well. Right from the start, all of our interactions with Absolute Adventures were first rate, starting with the communications I had with Claire, the owner. She was prompt, thorough and extremely courteous in all of our email exchanges.Our positive experiences continued when we met our tour guide, Juan, and our driver for the day, Ervin. I'm not sure how Absolute Adventure's other guides and drivers are, but we couldn't have been happier with the experience we had Juan and Ervin. They picked us up at 7:00 a.m. on the dot, as promised, and from the moment we met them, we couldn't have felt more comfortable. Juan was funny, entertaining, and extremely easy to talk to, not to mention his seeming encyclopedic knowledge of Tulum, Coba and the cenotes that we visited. Ervin was a bit more quite, focusing on the driving as he should. Still very polite and friendly though. The van we rode in for the day was extremely clean and comfortable, and the place we stopped for lunch was charming, authentic, and had great food. Juan joined us for lunch, and our conversation made us feel like we'd been friends with him forever. We talked a lot about our families and shared a lot of laughs and great stories. It was readily apparent that Juan's parent's raised him right when he stopped the van in the middle of our trip to help a man in a wheelchair that was struggling to get up a hill. I couldn't have been more impressed with Juan the tour guide, but I was probably even more impressed with Juan the person. Oh...and Tulum, Coba and the cenotes were awesome too!We've booked a fair amount of tours over the years, and the day that Absolute Adventures provided us ranks right at the top of the list. Thanks Claire, Ervin and especially Juan for a a great day. We couldn't have picked a better tour! or tour company!!

Excellent guide and driver,Arturo was very knowledgeable as well as the guides at Tulum and coba. We really enjoyed the trip and loved learning about the Mayan culture. We were looked after very well throughout the whole trip and would highly recommend absolute adventure especially when traveling with young children.

Hello, had a tour last week with you agency. Artouro was wonderful. Very friendly and gave us a lot of great information regarding the Tulum ruins and the culture of Mexico. Loved the cenote and the extra attention he gave to our 12 year old grandson. The lunch was great also. We did not see many turtles (only 2) but that was no one’s fault- nature played the role here. The young man who helped us in the water was wonderful and felt bad we didn’t see more.The driver was great also. Thank you for a great day. FYI- we returned to Maine USA with snow on the ground and 27 degrees. We miss Mexico already!

We took two tours with Arturo and our driver Rodrigo - on both days they arrived promptly. Arturo was very informative and friendly. Drinks were provided and the days progressed at our own pace. Arturo took lots of photos of us and the sites we visited and these were emailed to us within a few days and was a nice added extra. We were delighted to be Arturo's first accredited guided tour and we would definitely recommend his service to anyone.The experiences do not cost much more than the tour companies trips but you travel in your own vehicle, with your own driver and guide for the whole day and is tailored to your own needs - so much better value!!!!Arturo was a lovely guy and made both of our trips very enjoyable. He was happy to chat about himself, was very open and he ended up feeling like a friend.Overall, an excellent experience!!!

Juan and Pascual were nothing short of amazing. Juan was entertaining and adjusted to the family like he was a member of our unique family group. When my granddaughter was a little apprehensive about the underwater cave he led her through it while we explored on our own. She is 7 and was not bored one bit with this tour. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

My husband and I did the Coba Ruins/Monkey Reserve tour with Juan today (11/30). Juan delivered hands-down the best interpretive tour I've ever experienced. Not only did he have a wealth of knowledge on the Mayan history in both the Reserve and Coba, but was more than happy and able to answer any and all questions about Mexican culture, politics, etc.

Our tour guide was excellent. He came to the pier to pick us up and took us in a private van to the Tulum Ruins. Along the way, he was very informative about the local culture. At the ruins, he voluntarily took photos of us. The photos turned out GREAT and didn't cost anything extra!! The admission to the ruins was included in the price of the tour. We were also supposed to swim in a cenote, which we were all excited about, but it turned out we didn't have enough time. That wasn't our tour guide's fault at all. We took this tour as an excursion off the cruise ship, which docked at Cozumel. As it turns out, there is a ferry to Playa Del Carmen at 9am local time and a return ferry at 1pm and 5pm. We didn't know about the time difference between "ship time" and local time, so it turned out that our ship was docked from 7am to 3pm local time. That meant we had to take the 1pm ferry back. So we only had from 9:30am-12:30pm in Playa Del Carmen, which is hardly enough time to enjoy the ruins, let alone anything else, since the ruins is about an hour drive each way.
