What people love about Mexico Tours from Mexico City
- Aztecs & Mayas
A good SAFE trip. Thank you! Did not appreciate the 3.30am start so that we could travel with day trippers and one Mayan site tour was given by the bus driver and was notably inferior to the others. But, overall, very professional and customer friendly :)
- 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.
- Colonial Mexico
Mexico was fantabulous and trip was engaging. Felt very secured. Would highly recommend the tour as it was exactly as planned. Lot of places covered as this was a tightly packed trip. Gracious tourradar and Eurapamundo!
