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 trip was amazing. For me, a once-in-a-lifetime experience with ruins, waterfalls, and jungle. I strongly recommend it if you're good at the hot outdoors. Many hotels had no air conditioner but they did have fans. Near the end, a few had air conditioners. I'm a suit and tie guy and this was unlike anything I had ever done at 50. I had to get out of my comfort zone and roll with the way things happened. I was fit enough for it but was still challenged all along the way. Challenged in a good way. The sites are amazing. My group was fun. The tour leader, Juan Carlos Martinez, was amazing. If interested in ancient ruins of Mexico, DO THIS! I strongly recommend it. Great job, Intrepid!
- Mexico Real Food Adventure (from Mexico City to Santa Maria Huatulco)
Great intro into Mexico with what underpins all cultures. Food!
