Our guide, Erik, could not have been more of a delight. He was so friendly and made the whole experience that much more incredible. His knowledge of the site and his safety tips helped us at each event. While we were there we went through several ziplines, snorkeled through ancient cenotes, rappelled, and got to eat some delicious and authentic Mexican food. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone looking for something exciting on their trip.

We did 2 ziplines, canoed, swam in the Cenote, and ate a delicious meal. Our tour guide Tonica was outstanding, explaining to us the culture of the Mayans and the history of the area. No phone are allowed during this portion, but there are lockers available to store your things. Our 2nd stop was at the Coba ruins, where we saw the Mayan temples in the town of Coba. It was a long walk to the main temple, but it was a cool experience and beautiful architecture to see. The whole trip was an all day adventure, but well worth it! Definitely recommend if your looking to learn about the culture of the area and the people who live here! :-)

** Unforgettable Private Tour - Adrian Is the Best!**…read more My wife and I booked the private tour to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Adrian, was outstanding: knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly proud to share the real history and culture of the Maya people. He brought both sites to life in a way no guidebook could, and we never felt rushed. Climbing Ek Balam and standing in front of El Castillo with someone who truly knows the story behind every stone was incredible. We were so impressed that we booked a second tour with him the very next day to see the Tulum ruins before our afternoon flight. He planned it perfectly, so we got a full experience and still made it to the airport with no stress. Professional, personable, flexible, and genuinely kind. It was worth every penny. Whenever we're back in Mexico, we'll book with Adrian and Living Dreams Mexico again and again. Highly recommend! -- Kevin & Sureni

She took photos for us and send a link so we didn't have to worry about getting our phones wet. She took us to local food and private cenote places that were incredible and we never would have found on our own. She is incredibly kind. Speaks fluent English and Spanish. She assisted with us shopping and other things we needed besides the tour. I would love to use her the next time we come back again.

I booked the Chichen Itza Deluxe Tour with The Custom Tour for my group of 12. We traveled during…read moreThanksgiving week 2021. Our group comprised of three families with adults, teens, and young children. It was all of our first times traveling to Cancun so I wanted to find a private tour for my large group. Booking with them through their website was easy and they were very quick to communicate via email. Leading up to the tour, we had some travel delays, but after updating Rod and their team of our situation, they were very accommodating. Kat was our guide and Pepe was our driver. Kat was informative during our guided walk of Chichen Itza and also accommodating of our last minute concerns and needs. Pepe was a great driver and got us to our destinations swiftly and safely. Marveling at the ruins at Chichen Itza and learning more about the history of Mayan culture and the way life might have been like at the time was very interesting. Kat took photos during our entire tour and later shared them via Google. A plus for our group as we LOVE photos. On our way to Cenote Samaal, we requested a stop for some fresh coconut water. They were quick to find a vendor on the side of the road. Pepe also got out and helped cut the coconuts for the 12 of us. Very impressed with his initiative and helpfulness. The coconuts were so refreshing after walking around in the sun at Chichen Itza! Admission, locker access, life jackets, and lunch were provided for us at Cenote Samaal. Everyone in our group enjoyed swimming in the cenote. The lunch buffet was a favorite among the adults in our group as we got to get a taste of Yucatan cuisine. There was something for everyone on this tour and I would highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Cancun and wanting to get more than just a tour of Chichen Itza, but an experience of what the Yucatan area has to offer. We will definitely be touring with them again when we're back for our next Cancun adventure!

Both were quite close to Playa Del Carmen/ Playacar so the longest drive was around thirty minutes. I got some great photos and at the end of the trip we were sent a Google Drive of the photos that Limbert had taken.

The guide is not allowed nor interested to offer to take photos of you on your own phone, so the company can sell you their own photos of you. The entire thing is a money grab and sub par quality as best. staff are unfriendly and the guide was rude and dismissive. He singled me out by asking if I was an expert swimmer and proceeded to draw the cross and say he is going to sacrifice me when I said my swimming was so so. The ATV guide mislead us into believing we are going to be on our own and very likely to damage the ATV or collide into something and be on the hook for thousands of dollars in damages. Instead the ATV tour involved everyone driving in a singular line behind the guide at a medium speed where it would be impossible to crash or damage the car. I do not recommend this company and their packages; there are many others I have tried in the past with friendly guides who are polite and caring who offered to take photos to help us take nice photos away as memories.

Every stop was beautiful and offered something completely different, so it was a really fun way to experience several parts of the area in one day. Our tour guide, Hazael, was truly a delight! He was very interactive with everyone, kept the group entertained, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Tulum and the other locations we visited. He even tried to keep the energy up between stops by playing music in the van, which was a nice touch. The only thing I would mention for future guests is that this is a LONG day. We were picked up at 6:30 AM, and because all of the stops are spread out, there is quite a bit of driving involved. Tulum itself felt a little rushed, but with everything else included in the excursion, I can understand why the schedule is tight. There is just a lot packed into one day! Overall, though, we had a wonderful time and felt like we got to experience so much in one excursion. Hazael really made the experience even better. We would definitely recommend this excursion, especially if you want to see and do a lot rather than spend the entire day at one location!

An Absolutely Incredible Experience -- The Highlight of Our Vacation!…read more 5 Stars - Exceptional Private Tour! Our private snorkeling and cenote adventure with Absolute Adventure was truly extraordinary, and much of what made it so special came down to three wonderful people: our guides, Pablo and Arturo, and our driver, Roberto. From the very beginning, what impressed us most was how genuinely friendly, personable, and engaging everyone was. Pablo and Arturo were absolutely phenomenal. Their knowledge of the local geography, geology, wildlife, and ecology was remarkable, but what really set them apart was their ability to share that knowledge in such a natural, conversational, and fascinating way. Rather than simply delivering a rehearsed tour or rattling off facts, they took the time to get to know us. Through our conversations, they quickly picked up on our interests, our curiosity, and just how deeply we wanted to explore different subjects. Whether we were discussing how cenotes form, the unique geology of the Yucatán Peninsula, or the fascinating plants and animals of the region, they tailored the experience to our level of interest. We never felt rushed, and they seemed genuinely delighted to share their knowledge and answer our questions. That kind of personalized attention is something you simply don't find on every tour, and we appreciated it enormously. The logistics were equally impressive. Our transportation was extremely comfortable and perfectly suited to our private excursion, with a large cooler generously stocked with refreshments. Everything throughout the day felt seamless, relaxed, and thoughtfully organized. Our snorkeling experience in Akumal was spectacular! In accordance with the regulations protecting the marine preserve, we were handed off to a local snorkeling guide who did an outstanding job. She made sure we were comfortable and safe while pointing out the incredible marine life around us. During our swim, we came within approximately 10 feet of what we estimated to be a dozen different sea turtles! Seeing these magnificent animals swimming freely in their natural habitat was unforgettable. We also encountered starfish and countless colorful reef fish. It was an absolutely magical experience. Our visit to the Taak Bi Ha cenote was another highlight, and the delicious lunch we enjoyed nearby was a wonderful addition to an already exceptional day. But when I think back on this experience, what I will remember most isn't just the spectacular scenery, the turtles, or the cenote. It's the people. Pablo and Arturo have that rare ability to make you feel less like a customer on a guided excursion and more like a friend being shown around by someone who genuinely loves where they live. Within a surprisingly short time, they felt more like traveling companions than tour guides. Their warmth, humor, curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to engage in meaningful conversation made the entire day so much more rewarding. Absolute Adventure delivered exactly what we hoped a premium private tour would be: personal, flexible, educational, comfortable, and filled with unforgettable experiences. More importantly, they provided something that can't simply be purchased or scripted: a genuine human connection with people who clearly take pride in sharing their beautiful corner of the world. We cannot recommend Absolute Adventure highly enough. If you're looking for something beyond a typical tourist excursion and want a truly personalized experience with knowledgeable, caring, and exceptionally friendly guides, this is the company to choose. A heartfelt thank you to Pablo, Arturo, and Roberto for making this one of the most memorable days of our vacation. You were all outstanding!
