What people love about Mexico Tours from Cancun
- Yucatan Quintana Roo Experience
The Mexico trip I did was excellent but only because of the agent Olivia who was excellent right from the beginning till the end of my Yucatán Quintana Roo trip. The schedule is not clearly explained and the hotel accommodation started off very well and depleted in standard as you came towards the end of the trip. I had to travel on my own from city to city, it was not clearly explained as I assumed I was joining a tour, but it wasn’t so. I was with a new group everytime and travelled solo! Olivia was right there, anytime of the day to answer my worries and queries and helped me out all the time. If it wasn’t for Olivia, I would have given one star, as it was very daunting for me to be in a new country and couldn’t speak Spanish.
- Mexico Yucatán Experience
The trutravels Mexico itinerary offers both things you want on your holiday. It offers some great activities such as chichen itza (one of the wonders of the world), going for a swim in one of many cenotes the yucatan area has to offer, or visiting the ancient ruins in tulum. This tour offers a lot of free time as well, so you can sip your cocktails on the beach. Manu was a great guide and since he did so many things in Mexico before, he knows what he is talking about and where to find the nice places to go to for a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Also can he point you in other directions for Latin America since he has a lot of connections and tips and tricks for those countries
We expected to be on a group tour but were assigned to a private tour. Our guide was fantastic. He was fluent in English. He was experienced. He knew how to pace the trip and anticipate what we needed. He knew the entire area very well and could stick to the itinerary yet add little stops or point out things that enriched the experience He was very knowledgeable about the Mayan culture and extremely easy to converse with. He had a great sense of humor. I was traveling with my two teen grandchildren and he could both keep up with them and still make it easy for grandma! We loved it
