What people love about Private Tours in Mexico
- 3 Days With a Private Guide in Mexico City
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Perfect itinerary for 3 days.
- Riviera Maya Adventure 7D/6N
Absolutely fantastic. Our contact at Bamba Experiences was so responsive and helped us in a number of tight spots. On one morning, our tour guide for Chichen Itza never showed up. Bamba immediately called them and worked out another tour day for us. We were blown away. Other than that, the lodgings were very comfortable. Nicer locations were slightly further away from the city centre, however, so I would suggest giving people 2 options for lodgings (and then they can prioritize convenience over ambiance, if they wish). Also, finding an English-speaking clerk at the bus stations (to print our tickets) was a little daunting, so perhaps offering us the chance to pre-print bus tickets before our vacation would be more useful. Other than that, it was great and very well-priced. I will 100% be booking another trip with Bamba again.
- The Taste of Mexico
For the price, it is a good deal. It is a good tour if you want to be by yourself and you want to see a bit of everything in a short period of time. The accommodations were very well located and the buses couldn't be any more comfortable. The places we visited were great and the time was efficiently distributed. However, the operator is not very detail-oriented, so you need to have an Internet connection in Mexico to be able to communicate with them very often to clarify things. They didn't start booking our accommodations/buses until the day before the tour started. They were still booking some of them even a few days after it had started. It was stressful and gave a sense of uncertainty that is not what you expect to have during your holidays. The evening before the first local tour they changed the morning departure time twice by email, so if you don't have Internet, you can't be certain of anything in this tour. On the positive side, they always answered e-mails very quickly. Except once or twice I made practical questions (e.g. do we need to take our passports to the tour?, or is it safe in Oaxaca after the police confrontation yesterday?) and they chose to ignore them and not reply. At least twice we arrived to accommodations and the receptionist said we hadn't paid. We had to contact Marvelus and wait until the information arrived to the receptionist that we didn't have to pay. Another time we arrived to a hostel that told us they were expecting us the day before but since we didn't arrive, they gave the room away and now they were fully booked. We had to wait an hour before the situation was clarified. In the end we always go the rooms, but after some struggle due to miscommunication between Marvelus and the accommodations. The last day we went to take a bus at 9:30am as stated in the booklet of the tour we agreed upon, but it turned out that the bus ticket they booked for us was at 6:15am, so we had to buy ourselves another bus ticket. However, Marvelus said they would refund us the amount. In short, the tour itself is worth it (nice visits, comfortable buses and well-located accommodations), but you need to have patience with the operator and a permanent Internet connection.
