What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Mexico
- Mexico Real Food Adventure
Just returned from a fantastic food tour in Mexico! What a great time! 8 wonderful days of consuming the most gorgeous Mexican food, seeing the sights, exploring markets and tasting many types of mezcal. Jaime was a fantastic guide - nothing was too much trouble. New Year's Eve in Mexico City was an additional highlight
- Mexico Unplugged
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!!
We had a great time on this tour! Constanza was a great tour guide and we learned a lot and had fun along the way. It was lovely to meet some roamies and make good memories while having some pretty unique experiences. I definitely recommend this tour!
