Budget Tours & Trips to Mexico Reviews
- Colonial treasures of Mexico - 10 days
A unique experience of seeing the most quaint and beautiful colonial towns in Mexico. The best part was that I was the only one in the tour accompanied by Mr. Luis who was the guide and the driver in a brand new car I mean zero miles. Mr Luis is a wonderful gentleman who is a knowledgeable and cordial. He took time and care to show me everything .and stayed beyond his working hours to help me see the places and enjoy the events. I truly enjoyed my time in Mexico. I believe Mr. Luis made it all possible and I thank him for that.
- Cycle Mexico - The Yucatan Peninsula
A very memorable experience, it was the first time I had done a trip of this type and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I can't stress how amazing this tour was and I 100% feel like I can say that I have seen and experienced Mexico to the fullest! Ethan our tour guide was an absolute laugh to travel with and we had so much fun with our little tour group - would definitely book with Intro again!

What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Mexico
What's the average daily cost for budget tours in Mexico?
Budget tours in Mexico cost around 134 USD per day covering basics like accommodation transport between destinations and some meals. A typical 16-day route from Mexico City to Cancún includes 15 breakfasts 4 lunches and 2 dinners. The price also covers entry to key sites like Chichen Itza and Tulum ruins. One TourRadar traveler noted "it was great value for money with so many activities and experiences included in the price."
What budget-friendly areas of Mexico are best for travelers on a budget?
The Yucatan Peninsula stands out for value especially in cities like Merida and Valladolid. These places offer reasonably priced local food budget lodging and convenient access to archaeological sites like Chichen Itza. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Merida was perfect for budget travel - great street food local markets and free cultural events." Other wallet-friendly destinations include the colonial cities of Oaxaca and San Cristobal de las Casas which cost less than coastal resort areas.
Are entrance fees to attractions included in budget tour prices?
Entry fees to main sites come with most budget tours including Chichen Itza (85 USD) Teotihuacan (65 USD) and the National Museum of Anthropology (25 USD). Extra activities like cenote swimming (5-10 USD) or cooking classes (35-65 USD) usually cost extra. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Having main entrance fees included was great for budgeting - we just needed extra money for optional activities and personal interests."
What meals are typically included in budget Mexico tours?
Budget tours generally cover daily breakfast and selected group meals. You can expect traditional Mexican breakfast at your accommodation plus planned group dinners that showcase local dishes like mole in Oaxaca or regional Yucatecan food in Merida. A TourRadar traveler noted "the included group meals were fantastic for trying local specialties while having flexibility for other meals let us explore street food and local restaurants on our own."
When is the most affordable time to visit Mexico on a budget tour?
The best deals appear during low season from June to November particularly September and October. During these months accommodation and activity prices drop though occasional rain occurs. A TourRadar traveler shared "We saved significantly by traveling in October - the weather was still great and tourist sites were less crowded." Expect higher prices from December through April especially during Christmas and Spring Break.
