Great experience with great people - This was truly a remarkable experience. Was skeptical when saw so many 5-star reviews - but it was a 5-star experience. We had Alex as our guide and Enrique as our driver. Both were super-friendly and welcoming. Alex gave us a great history and educational lesson as we headed to Chichen Itza. The tour of the ruins was great. The cenote experience was also breathtaking and relaxing. Lunch was amazing. They did a great job of catering tour to what we wanted to do and asking if we needed to make stops. They had plenty of snacks and drinks to keep our kids happy (ages 16, 14 and 11). Overall, great experience.

The Best - This tour was one of the best we’ve done in Mexico. Having a private tours offers so many benefits especially when traveling with younger children (4 years old.) You have the ability to do more or less depending on how it’s going. They stop for restroom breaks, etc. We even wanted a specific souvenir and our tour guide, Arturo, made sure we got it. He helped guide us when we were bargaining with vendors and even took us to a Cenote that was incredibly peaceful- no crowds. Shortly after we left the crowds descended and we were so grateful to get to experience it away from everyone else. Lunch was excellent as well! Our driver was superb. We would book a tour with this company and Arturo any time and you should too.

Highlight of our trip!! - We had an INCREDIBLE experience on our private tour. Our guide Juan (JJ) was outstanding: so kind, funny, personable, and super knowledgeable. We asked so many questions throughout the tour and he was so great to talk to. Our driver Enrique was wonderful as well. We were a group of three women and felt totally safe the entire time. From start to finish, it was an absolutely wonderful experience, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone!

Chichen Itza/cenote/vallalodid - Our group of 11 had a wonderful time with Christina and Rodrigo! Christina kept our group on track and was efficient with our time so we got the maximum enjoyment out of each stop! She is so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We all loved learning about Chichen Itza, and swimming and jumping into the cenote was so fun. The restaurant for lunch was delicious.

Fabulous day visiting Chichen Itza with Absolute Adventure tours! - Our family recently returned from Mexico having visited Chichen Itza and swimming in a cenote through a tour with Absolute Adventure. Considering it was going to be an all day trip, we splurged on a private tour to cut down on travel time. I booked directly through their website for considerable savings compared to resellers of similar tours. Our guide Cristina was full of knowledge and passion about the history of Chichen Itza. We got there right when the site opened shortly after 8am; be prepared to spend up to 4 hrs if you want the full experience. There are numerous vendors on site who are super talented artists from the nearby town. You can get a kitschy alien themed Chitzen Iza T-shirt but also beautiful one of a kind wooden masks, sculptures, obsidian carvings and a 'jaguar' (you will know when you hear it). Many vendors take credit, but recommend bringing extra pesos.
Our driver Enrique was always ready for the next trek waiting with refreshments. The second stop was a swim in the Samula Cenote which is in an enclosed cave with a small opening. Yes there are bats in the cave, not scary, but they poop. Our third stop was in Valladolid for an authentic Mexican lunch at a restaurant frequented by locals. The ala carte meal was delicious. Recommend having breakfast at your resort/rental, there are snacks provided but lunch is later in the day. Valladolid town square was a quick walk through the park as the church was closed and we already had our souvenirs. Set out at 6:15am and back at 6:00pm at our resort.....long day but so very worth it!
Thank-you Cristina and Enrique!

Cenote-Chichenitza - Valladolid - First we went to an amazing Mayan cenote, 10 meters deep and you saw the stones in the background. Then we went to Chichenitza, it is magical we loved it only that we were given very little time to tour it, I do not recommend doing it with young children as they have to walk a lot. There are so many sellers that if you stop at every place that offer you something you don’t get anything besides being told a price and it’s not the real thing. From there we marched to Valladolid, a very picturesque place and had lunch in a law firm restaurant where we found very varied and very delicious meals.
