Show moreTrip date: June 2025 - AMAntwan· March 10th, 2024The trip planned area covered the intent of tour seeing different interesting places but limitations of the trip was restricting the full benefit 1-Tour guides in general have limited knowledge and most with poor English not sure what was the issue 2-Hotels were not what we expected specifically in San Cristobal (Casa Vieja) and Merida (Mision de Fray Diego ) although location was good the rest were good 3-Cancelled the fiist day to anthropology Museum (explanation about pollution ?! ) 4-The tours have no relation to Touradar so for example one lunch was included and the guide/driver said after we asked said that he will give us 300 Pesos for lunch allowance ( very unusual) 5-With too many different guides and number of people in the tours many were by ourselves like in Chichen Itza the guide decided less than one hour was enough and can give us more time on our own in other word the real problem in our mind is the filling the spots rather than knowing people and keep them regularly 6-It was really great areas to visit and wonderful people and country to visit for the first time I think review of the trip with same guide and driver for at least around same area will be beneficial and better overview understandingShow moreTrip date: February 2024

- STSabrina· August 23rd, 2023Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishDuring the 10 days we had changing guides and also other drivers. Maybe it was because of the time, but except for two days we had private tours- was very cool :) All guides were super friendly and helpful. In addition, they all told a lot about the history of the country and the Maya. Hotels were top and the breakfast was great everywhere. Although it is currently rainy season, we were very lucky with the weather. Except for a shower during the boat tour we stayed dry. You definitely need cash and especially a lot of change.

Traveler•Written July 2025Also what happens if we have a issue in the middle of the tour or post payment who do we contact what name is there phone number given you won't give these details
Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written July 2025Since this is a shared tour, can the guides speak both English and Spanish, or only English if the group only speaks English. Arrival transfer is included in the program on the available date chosen by the client from Mexico City airport to hotel on Mexico City. Transfer from the hotel in Mexico to the Mexico City airport is also included so clients can board their flight to Tuxtla Gutierrez. Our service ends by dropping clients off at the hotel they have booked themselves at the end of the itinerary. Once the reservation is confirmed, a welcome letter is sent to clients one week before the program begins. We include a WhatsApp support number where they can contact us for assistance if needed. Before our clients arrive in Mexico, we follow up with them through this channel.

Asked on June 25th, 2025Is this tour guided or is it just a driver? What type of vehicle will it be?
- Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written June 2025
This is a shared guided tour. The vehicle depends on the number of participants; they are usually vans. The group size varies from day to day, as does the guide.

Asked on May 4th, 2025I wanted to find out more about the ratings of the hotels you will be using on this tour. Also my friend and I are planning to travel to Tulum for a 2 days after we finish with you at Cancun, can you advise me how easy this is to do?
- Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written May 2025
The hotels we use in standard category are 3 stars and in superior category 4 stars. We suggest you to look for information about the published hotels, however, these are not the final ones, depending on availability we can confirm in similar hotels in 3 or 4 stars depending on the category you book. At the end of your tour we can drop you off in the center of Tulum so that you can take a taxi to take you to the hotel you have booked on your own. We did not enter the hotel zone of Tulum.

Asked on April 21st, 2025I am interested to travel in the Aztecs & Mayas tour starting from 9th June 2025. I am a solo traveller, 74 years old male Singaporean. Are you able to purchase for me the internal flight ticket from Mexico City to Tuxtla Gutierrez? If yes, let me know the payment details. In Chichen Itza, are we visiting the pyramids there? Not specifically mentioned in the itinerary. As it is termed as 'Private tour', can that be included in the itinerary? At least a short visit for a photo shoot. In Cancun, I need your optional 1 night stay + airport transfer at your standard hotel near the airport. How & when do I make the payment for this? Any travel formalities for Singapore citizens?
- Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written April 2025
We cannot purchase the domestic flight but we can assist you as to where to buy it once you have booked the tour. In Chichen Itza, the tour covers the Temple of Kukulkan (El Castillo), Great Ball Court, Skull Platform, and Sacred Cenote. After the tour, we will drop you off at your selected extension hotel in Cancun or Riviera Maya. For country permits and special requirements, check the official Mexican government website or the Mexico Embassy website in Singapore.

Asked on October 15th, 2024I am a 24 year old young woman and I'm planning holidays in Mexico soon. I wanted to know two things: what demographics is this tour designed for? Are there families and senior adults? Are the trips in november guaranteed? Or is there a minimum number of participants for the trip to happen?
- Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written October 2024
The tour is designed for ages 8 to 99. It's really not that common for children to join. Mostly singles and couples. Young adults and middle aged clients is the basic but it all depends! Yes they are. No minimum.
