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
When you're traveling through a developing country in hot, muggy conditions for so many days with strangers, you need a comfortable hotel to relax in for the night. G Adventures didn't deliver on the quality of hotels. The hotels were a let-down and seriously dampened the tour experience. Unreliable wi-fi in hotel rooms, dirty rooms, some places had no hot water for showers, some rooms were too moldy and musty. Staff didn't speak good English, couldn't help with day trip bookings post tour. As well, the food we tried in Mexicio wasn't as good as people had hyped about. As for the itinerary, it focused too much on ruins and archaeological history, not enough on contemporary socio-econ-political insight. The quality of the optional excursions for the jungle hike & biosphere reserve also lacked a naturalist context. As well, an optional excursion to do snorkelling would've enhanced my experience.
- Mexico Unplugged (from Mexico City to Isla Cozumel)
This was my first trip with Intrepid and I have to say, it did not disappoint. In terms of value for money, this tour can't be beat. Our guide Edith was fantastic and I really felt like we saw the best that Mexico had to offer.
