Great Experience - We used Absolute Adventure Mexico a few days before for the private Chichen Itza tour and decided to use them again for our Coba tour. Cristina was very accommodating and arrived with a little larger van for our party of 6 adults. So very thoughtful. We would all recommend them for your tour. Comfortable and safe accommodations.

Perfect day - We were beyond pleased with Absolute Adventure! Josh and Javi took us on a Coba and Cenote tour and the day was perfect! Pick up was on time. Josh, our guide, was knowledgeable and helpful at all the destinations. He brought a tablet with some great visual references for us to see at the Coba archeological site as well as verbally telling us about the site and the Mayan culture. He got many group pictures of us at the best sites. Coba Cenotes were magical. The company provided everything we needed for the day - and the company's list of what to bring with you was spot on! Listen to them :) Lunch destination was delicious and ordered ahead by our guide so it was very efficient and quick. I would 100% recommend Absolute Adventure and give a 6 out of 5 star rating to Josh and Javi.

Magical Maya - Our day exploring Mayan ruins and swimming in two cenotes was fabulous. Our guide Josh was knowledgeable and great at answering our questions. Biking through the jungle to the ruins added another level of fun. We swam in two underground cenotes for a magical experience. Our group ages ranged from 5 to 69 and Josh accommodated us all. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Our driver Javi was very kind and drove us safely.

Lots of Fun. Lots of laughs. Learned a lot. Best gude ever! - We just returned from our tour with Absolute Adventure. Our tour guide was Josh and he is amazing! He is very knowledgeable about the Coba ruins, their history, and its continuing influence in the local culture surrounding them. He is an excellent communicator, and speaks both English and Spanish fluently. We have been on tours in Mexico multiple times and places, Costa Rica, Belize, Hawaiian Islands, Canada, and the US, and this tour was one the very best we have taken. A lot of that was due to Josh and his efforts
to insure that we learned a lot, and had a lot of fun in the process. Hands down, without a doubt, this is tour you want to take if you are in Playa del Carmen or in the Cancun area. Be sure to ask for Josh and you will have a fantastic day and
experience!

Amazing once in a lifetime tour experience! - We had an amazing time on our tour! If you enjoy seeing Mexico’s beauty without the tourist crowds, this is the tour for you! The eco adventures in the Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve are not to be missed and Coba was awesome. Swimming in the underground cenote was a once in a lifetime experience, in addition to seeing a lot of monkeys, canoeing and zip lining! This is a great family activity. Alex is an extremely knowledgeable and kind tour guide - we learned so much from him - and Enrique was a courteous driver! I would recommend this tour company to anyone looking for adventures!

Great tour for our family of 12–8 adults, 2 4 year olds and 2 babies. - Arturo our guide made sure everyone had a good time. Adults rode bikes at Coba except we had three rickshaws for the kids and adults with them. Beautiful ride on the trails through the jungle. Lots of shade. He provided good information and tailored it so the older kids learned a lot. Then we had lunch at Juanita’s and went to a beautiful open cenote. Great day. Not cheap but worth it.

Like getting shown around by a local buddy - Our group of 5 adults and 4 children did the Coba and Cenote tour with Juan of Absolute Adventure. It was easily the highlight of an amazing trip.
They were very prompt, professional, and personable.
Juan checked with us along each step if we needed bathrooms, if we wanted to stay longer at one place, etc. We learned tons while having fun. It truly felt like having a local buddy take you around to the sites. The lunch was also a huge hit with our group, only wish we had bought more hot sauce!
Highly recommend Absolute Adventure if you're staying in the Cancun/PDC area.
