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 :)
- Colonial Mexico
Provide video films shows relevant to the itinerary during long distance ride.
- 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!!
