What people love about Mexico Tours from Mexico City
- Mexico Unplugged (from Mexico City to Isla Cozumel)
Mexico Unplugged: I really love the design of this trip. This trip includes many of the best places Mexico has to offer. Not only did we visit traditional tourist spots we also had the opportunity to see the natural wonders as well as the amazing Chichen Itza. The tour leader Carlos was fantastic! we were very fortunate to have Carlos, who was simply the best! He is very knowledgeable and shared with us his enthusiasm and love of his land.
- Mexico Real Food Adventure
Great intro into Mexico with what underpins all cultures. Food!
- Aztecs & Mayas
Wow, it's like travelling to a whole different world. It's highly recommended if you like ancient sites. My wife said Mexican food was the best food she tried in years... very delicious, we really loved the ancient Aztec and Mayan ruins, Cenotes, and ending in Cancun was amazing. We were given a time to meet the tour guide every day in morning, and each location had different tour guides. We felt safe. Just a word of caution, bring pepto bismol for travellers diarrhea. My wife had 3 days of diarrhea/vomiting, and I had 9 days... also bring extra underwear. I got it from drinking horchata in a rural place (Chiapas near Ocosingo) and my wife got it in Mexico City at a buffet (maybe the coffee) so maybe it really was the drink/water for Montezuma's Revenge. Overall, would highly recommend, Mexico is a wonderful place and amazing place to visit! Memories forever.
