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.

A Great way to visit with kids - A fantastic way to see Chichen Itza with kids. We were picked up early and arrived in time for the site opening. Our guide took us round and explained everything we wanted to know. With kids and it being the middle of Summer, we were interested in understanding the site, but not hanging around unduly. Once we had seen all we wanted to, we went for Lunch nearby (very nice and authentic) and were back in the hotel pool by mid afternoon. Overall a really enjoyable trip, we learnt lots about the culture and history and the kids enjoyed it without getting too hot or bored hanging about.

Go see one of the 7 wonders of the world 2025 and use Absolute Adventures tour company - One of the most amazing tours I've ever been on. Our tour guide (Joshua) was so knowledgeable and so patient with my endless questions not only about the archeological site but about local interests and factoids. Highly recommend this company because of the great service and knowlege.

Great tour with a wonderful guide! Nice to avoid the crowds and heat! - The trip to Chichén Itzá was fantastic - our group of 9 loved it. Alex is very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the Maya is contagious. Pick up was right on time and we had no issues at all. Glad to have gotten there early and beaten the heat and the crowds!

Amazing Experience! Don't Miss This! - This was the highlight of our trip to Cancun. We had an amazing day at Chichen Itza! Our tour guide, Arturo, was absolutely wonderful! He and our driver picked us up on time at our hotel, and we were quickly on our way. We stopped for a bathroom break and to stretch our legs once on the way there. They offered us something to drink. There was a cooler in the back of the van full of all kinds of soda and bottled water. The Mexican sodas were delicious! We got to Chichen Itza about 20 minutes before it opened, leaving us plenty of time to apply sunblock and grab more water bottles from the cooler, especially since our driver dropped us off right up front. Arturo handed us our tickets, so we didn't need to wait in any lines. We walked right in and were able to get amazing pictures without anyone else around. Arturo took great family photos of us! We didn't have to worry about not being able to hear because of a large crowd or moving at too slow or too fast a pace. We asked lots of questions and saw everything. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! We stopped whenever we wanted to look at something or go to the bathroom. Before leaving, I asked about going to see the Sacred Cenote. It isn't something that everyone goes to see, but Arturo gladly obliged. We walked over to that area as he continued to tell us more about the history, the Maya people, and the cenote. We left after about 3 - 3.5 hours at Chichen Itza and headed to Valladolid for a delicious lunch. Our son ordered steak tacos, while my husband and I each ordered a traditional Yucatecan dish called panuchos, which is similar to tostadas with beans cooked inside the corn tortillas. There were three to an order, so we ordered a variety with a different meat on each. It was all excellent, especially the appetizer of chips and jalapeño cream! OMG! After lunch, we walked around the town center a bit. It was beautiful! We visited a chocolate museum, did some tasting, and of course bought some chocolate! Then our driver was waiting for us right outside the museum to take us back to our hotel. We had such a wonderful day! I highly recommend this private tour to everyone! It's the only way I ever want to take another tour. If we are ever in the area again, I will definitely use this company again. I'd love to visit Tulum with them. I'd be so happy to have Auturo as our guide once more!

First class service Chichen Itza - First class service with a highly engaging and knowledgeable personal guide. Juan gave us insights into the Mexican culture and way of life drawing on his own experiences. The tour of Chichen Itza was superb and he explained the historic significance and what life could have been like in the city
