- SSandy· December 3rd, 2024We had a marvelous time during our trip. It was very enjoyable having everything planned out for us, including the driving. We have never taken a guided tour before and it couldn’t have been better.Show moreTrip date: November 2024
Carolyn· February 8th, 2024This review is specifically for the tour company, Copper Canyon Mexico Specialists. Not the canyon, hotels, train or restaurants. Those were all great and this trip should be on everyone's bucket list. Just don't use CCMS. I would do the trip again with a different tour group. What I am posting below is taken from emails I sent to CCMS after our trip. Their response was if I had read the fine print, that I would have know that they were covering themselves to change any part of the trip they wanted. I want to clarify that a phone call was made 3 days before the trip and we were assured that the trip would include a luxury tour bus with a bathroom and instead were informed the night before we left that they were using a small Sprinter van instead. Barely room for the 15 people on the trip and no bathroom. Sent to CCMS: The description of the trip clearly states that we will be traveling on a deluxe coach bus for the duration of our trip (except for train travel days). Instead of a deluxe coach bus we were traveling in a small Sprinter van with 15 people on the tour, a tour guide and a driver. It was crowded and very uncomfortable. Some of the seats didn't even have access to a window so these people were not even able to see the scenery. My husband, who is 6'3", couldn't fit his legs between his seat and the seat in front of us. He had to sit sideways with his legs in the aisle sometimes for 8 hours at a time. The Sprinter was also a very rough ride. All of the people who wore step trackers were "tracking" thousands of steps while sitting in the van due to the bouncing and rough ride. My personal best was 17,000 steps while never actually walking. Also, being in a small van versus a deluxe coach bus meant we didn't have access to a restroom. Of course, this was uncomfortable and stressful since we never knew when we would be stopping for a restroom break. Our guide was not proactive in planning stops. We normally had to ask and then it could be an hour or more before the stop was feasible. My husband and I had been planning this trip for years and were very excited. The travel in the Sprinter van basically ruined this trip for us. We were uncomfortable in the seats. Uncomfortable not having access to a restroom. Disappointed in the false advertising for the trip transportation descriptions. The group complained about the van from the very beginning of the trip. We were told the night before we were to leave that we would not have a bus but would be in this small van instead. As you can imagine, everyone was upset and was asking for answers to why this change had been made. We never received an answer but were given some vague promises of a deluxe coach bus being delivered to us somewhere along the route. Guess when this happened? On the very last day after we crossed the border. So we were on a bus (which was wonderful) for about 3-4 hours. I estimate we spent 40-50 hours in the van. Our tour guide also suggested that we "switch around seats" after stops. Why would this help? All the seats were horrible. All were uncomfortable. Every other tour group we crossed paths with had a deluxe tour bus including another CCMS tour group. It became a joke to stand beside other tour groups buses and talk about how wonderful their trip must be compared to ours.Show moreTrip date: November 2023- PHPatrick Roger· January 23rd, 2024Great best ever Tour.

The trip included excellent food, perfectly planned stops and activities, beautiful hotel stays, a friendly and knowledgeable guide, and the comfort of having a driver. The staff in the hotels were friendly and accommodating. Most of all we appreciated our guide, Carlos for making this trip comfortable and enjoyable. He was an excellent guide.

Asked on April 12th, 2025Are there considerations for seniors on this tour? I am 74 & my wife is in her 60's. Does this tour require much walking? Is it physically challenging?
- Copper Canyon Mexico Specialists, LLCOperator•Written April 2025
The terrain in Copper Canyon can be rugged, and some areas may have uneven surfaces. If you or your wife have mobility concerns, it's advisable to take it easy and choose activities that suit your comfort level and bypass certain hikes and instead enjoy the walks for less strenuous activities, such as scenic viewpoints with minimal walking required. Bring walking aids, such as a cane or walking stick, if needed to help with stability on uneven surfaces. It is also essential to consider the elevation of 8,000 ft. asl; this may be the most challenging for many travelers. The train ride itself is not physically demanding. However, it does require climbing a few steps and maintaining balance when moving between the passenger cars. Passengers can relax in their seats and enjoy the scenic views. The train has comfortable seating, making the journey a leisurely experience. Overall, while some walking may be involved during the tour, other walking and hiking activities are optional. Many travelers enjoy the beauty and culture of Copper Canyon without it being overly strenuous.
