Private Express Tour of Tulum was just what we wanted. - I highly recommend Absolute Adventure's Private Express Tour of Tulum. Cristina, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We learned a lot about Tulum and had a beautiful day exploring the ruins. We were looking for a tour where we could see Tulum but be back at a reasonable time to enjoy our afternoon at our hotel. We left our hotel at 7:30 am and were back by 1:30 pm. While it says express, we never felt rushed and felt it was just the right amount of time.

Highly recommend Absolute Adventure! - We had a private tour with Absolute Adventure and were so happy we did. We took a short trip to visit the Tulum ruins and Joshua and Ivan were our guide and driver. Not only were they very punctual and attentive and friendly, they provided amazing service. As we were walking around the ruins, Joshua took extra time to explain so many different points on the ruins. He used his iPad to show us images of what the ruins used to look like. He is not only knowledgeable about the ruins, the history and culture but also the wildlife around the area. We saw many other tour groups and they were not getting the same level of service and information we were. I would highly recommend using Absolute Adventure Private Tours The group sizes are small. The vans are incredibly comfortable. The service is outstanding.

10/10 Experience with Josh & Yosmar - We had an excellent experience on the Tulum Express Early Tour—starting early truly made all the difference and allowed us to beat the crowds and enjoy the ruins in a much more relaxed way. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Our tour guide Josh was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely kind. He explained the history and significance of Tulum in a clear and interesting way, and was always happy to answer questions. A big shout-out as well to our driver Yosmar, who was very friendly and professional. The ride was comfortable, safe, and punctual, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to visit Tulum ruins without the crowds and with a fantastic guide and driver!

Perfect large family trip to Tulum - Perfect experience for our group of 11. The first ones in Tulum and back for lunch and pool time. Eddie was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. I would book with them again.

Early start private tour to Chichen Itsá. - Early start to beat the crowds, but getting up early is worth it to see amazing site before it gets crowded. Alex, the guide was a mine of information on Mayan culture and maths! Definitely enhances your experience. Alex very likeable and answers every question. About 6 hrs Inc driving both ways. Time to do stuff in the afternoon. Site is very interesting.

Absolute Private Tour with Josh - We had a fantastic private tour with Josh from Absolute. He was on time, super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Our group of 8 felt well taken care of, and he even shared great tips about local merchants. Pick-up was at 6:40am and we were back by 11:30am—perfect express tour! Highly recommend Josh and Absolute Private Tour.

Magnificent Private Tulum Archaeological Tour - Amazing tour with Cristina! Omar and Cristina came to pick us up promptly in the morning. Omar was a safe and smooth driver. The van was well air conditioned and they provided us with a cooler with a variety do beverages including water, soda, and juice. Cristina led us around the ruins and patiently and knowledgeably answered all of our questions. She even used an Ipad to present additional visuals to explain Mayan mythology as well as the architectural magnificence during the summer solstice and spring equinox. Highly recommend and look forward to returning to the Yucatan! I hope one day to take more tours of sites like Coba with Cristina and Omar.
