I've been diving in Cozumel a dozen times but this was my 1st trip to Tulum and the Cenotes. Stumbled on ABSOLUTE ADVENTURES on Trip Advisor. It seemed a bit expensive but was so worth it! Dulce (what a doll!) and her driver met us just off the boat and gave us a day to remember, highlight of the week! Dulce was personable, articulate and knowledgeable of all aspects of Tulum ruins and Mayan history and the Cenotes and "their" amazing history. The tour also included a Mayan lunch at Dos Ojos and then Dulce joined us for a "snorkel with the turtles" at Playa Akumal before dropping us back off at the pier where we caught the ferry back to Cozumel. There was even a little shopping time and a quick Starbucks at the adjacent mall; all in all, a full and very satisfying day of New Adventures and lots of photos.

Fantastic tour!! Damien promptly responded to all our tour related questions. He communicated well and provided great background on our ride to 45 min drive to Tulum. Joel was an amazing tour guide for The Tulum ruins and 2 Cenotes we visited. He is so passionate and proud he is of his heritage. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and provided great history facts and old photos of the Mayans ruins in all their glory. He was cheerful, fun, polite, professional and helpful along the tour. He’s a gem on this tour. He also had great recommendations for the best photos along the tour. He swam with us in the Cenote underground cave and pointed out places to check out or avoid as we snorkeled. He’s a genuinely positive and happy-go-lucky guy. He drove us to the beat keep secret Cenotes and the did not disappoint! They were truly beautiful and magical. We were the only ones at the Taak no-ha Cenote underground cave and it was truly a special experience to swim and snorkel there. The second Cenote was a swimming hole with some diving planks (Xunaan-ha). Also very fun. Both were pretty chilly water - but definitely refreshing after walking the ruins in 90’. Thanks for sharing your beautiful secret spots- Cenotes with us! This private tour was so worthwhile. We got to go at our own pace, take our time and enjoy our day. The owner, Damien followed up with us to confirm we enjoyed our tour were happy customers. You can tell they love what they do and they do it well. We would highly recommend this tour company!

My name is Diego. I have a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master in social studies from the University of Guadalajara. I created this tour to introduce visitors to the history, culture and architecture of Guadalajara, my home city. Walking in the city's historic barrios, plazas and markets, you will discover its unique personality while learning how historical events have shaped its urban and social landscape throughout the centuries. You will also discover Guadalajara's fundamental landmarks, including: 1. The Cathedral 2. Hospicio Cabañas (home to the murals of Jose Clemente Orozco) 3. Mercado Libertad (the biggest indoor market in Latin America) 4. Chapultepec cultural corridor. Whether a family with children, a couple, a group of friends or a solo traveler, my tours are highly flexible/adaptable to meet your specific interests. By the end of our private walking tour (no groups!), you will have a wider understanding of Guadalajara and Mexico's past and present.

Inclusions: My services as a guide

Exclusions: Snacks and water

I was referred to Living Dreams when I was inquiring concerns regarding a different company. I am so happy I was referred to Living Dreams! We booked 2 tours with them... The Coba Jungle Tour and Cenotes, and the Underground River Tour and Turtle Snorkeling. We had Hector as our guide and enjoyed him so such we requested him as our guide for our second tour. These are private tours so you are not rushed and they go to less crowded sites which makes each experience more memorable and pleasurable! They helped us design our tours based on our likes and desires and I must say every place they suggested and took us to exceeded our expectations! This company is very professional, honest, and have a wonderful staff working for them! I recommend you book all your tours Living Dreams you will not be disappointed :-)

When I reached out to our hotel concierge at El Pez, they hooked us up with Boutique Tours Mexico. Although we could have gone with another competitor with lower price, we are so happy to have done our tour with Boutique. Our tour guide Leo came to our hotel to pick us up round-trip. Leo was such an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the area, the things we were experiencing, and even a little history lesson. Not to mention Leo is personable. He was a champ when it came to me too. I can't swim in the ocean and Leo assured me that he "got me." He guided me in the water and I was able to snorkel along with him and my husband, rather than sit on a boat. When my motion sickness started getting to me, Leo was patient and made sure we were going at my pace and comfortablity. Luis, our boat captain, was amazing too. He would be navigating and be on the lookout for wild life for us. At the beginning, we didn't get to see any manatees where they usually feed, but on our way back, Luis asked if we wanted to go back just to check. Shoutout to Leo spending his bachelor day with us, the day before his wedding. To me, that's dedication and a love for his job! I mean, who wouldn't want to spend time with dolphins, sea turtles, and gem-like waters. My husband wants to go work with these two now haha. Leo and Luis were so wonderful and made Sian Kian experience even more memorable. We believe that if we had done a usual tour group setting, we wouldn't have the hands on experience we had received. We would 100% want to do future tours with Leo again when we return to Mexico in the Yucatan region. It was the best part of our trip. Congratulations to Leo and thank you Leo and Boutique Tours Mexico for a wonderful experience and memory!
