Ali
Asked on March 27th, 2022I would like to take this tour with you and I have a few questions to your tour 1) which season/ month do you recommend for good weather ( no rain and sunny sky ) 2) do you have a list with all the optional extra activities 3) is it possible to book a single room , how much extra would it cost ?
- Explore!Operator•Written March 2022
The best time to visit Mexico is during the dry season between December and April, when there is virtually no rain. The coolest months are between December and February, although temperatures can still reach averages of 28°C during the dry season. Single rooms can be booked at a single room supplement from £190.00 per person.
