What people love about Mexico Tours from Mexico City
- Aztecs & Mayas
Communication and quality of tour guide need to improve. We nearly missed our flight due to poor communication and arrangement as transport failed to turn up and we have to call for taxi to airport and incurred additional cost to us. Some of the hotel also needs improvement as it is too basic n no privacy. Room door is not closing fully n air conditioning leaking. Transport vehicle also needs improving as some of the van r not comfortable. Regards Unhappy travelers
- Classic Mexico Adventure
Excellent trip during the pandemic. Would be more enjoyable when we don’t have to wear masks everywhere
- Mexico Unplugged (from Mexico City to Isla Cozumel)
This tour was the perfect way to see everything Mexico has to offer (more than just pretty beaches!). I had so much fun on this tour - great, knowledgeable tour leader, excellent travel companions and saw some pretty incredible things. Loved the flexibility this tour gave us - we could choose to do day trips or just take the day off to chill out with new friends. Our tour leader really made this trip, he knew so much about each city, suggestions for tour guides and activities were on point, had good tips on where to dine and have a great night out that were easy on the wallet and he was very sociable and made it a relaxed and easy environment for us to interact. Miss my tour buddies!!
