    Emiliano has been an incredible guide throughout our trip across Mexico. Very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable - he's been kind, patient and overall great fun to be around. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him and his leadership and I know the whole group is really grateful for his time and efforts on the trip. In short, Emiliano is a legend!

    Viva Mexico was by far the best trip I’ve ever been on! I absolutely love intro travel and this was my third tour with them. I had Ceci as my main group leader and alongside her was Emiliano who was equally as great. The trip itself was so much fun with an equal balance of true authentic Mexican culture in the first half and relaxing vibes in the second half in the more Caribbean/touristic parts of Mexico. As for Ceci & Emiliano, their presence and passion for their job made the trip even more amazing. They were engaging, knowledgeable of their culture and always going above and beyond to ensure everyone was having a good time. They were kind and supportive and never pressured anyone to do anything they didn’t want. I highly recommend intro travel but most of all - pick a tour with Ceci or Emiliano as you’re guaranteed an amazing time no matter the location!!!

    The Viva Mexico tour was fantastic and the perfect mix of cultural experiences and more chill days in the second half of the trip. Ceci, Emiliano and Diego were brilliant and made each day so much fun. By doing this tour, I got a much deeper insight into everything Mexico has to offer. Ceci’s energy and passion are contagious and I couldn’t recommend this tour more!

    This trip is an incredible way to experience the highlights of what Mexico has to offer. The first half is a great introduction to all the incredible culture, people, food and everything in-between of this beautiful country (I guarantee you’ll fall in love with Oaxaca… and everywhere else of course) whereas the second half in the Caribbean is a lot more laid back with beach time, cenotes and of course a visit to Chichén Itzá. Ceci is an absolute legend, her passion and excitement for all the incredible things Mexico has to offer was contagious and for me elevated the trip to an even higher level. If you’re wanting to visit Mexico then you absolutely have to do this tour, it’ll be the best decision you ever make 🇲🇽❤️.

    I would highly recommend the VivaMexico intro tour! The first week is a lovely introduction to the Mexican culture with walking tours, visits to a local textile family, market visits & mescal tasting and the second week is more relaxed with some more beach time. The highlight for me was visiting a family near San Cristobal for some freshly made breakfast. Ceci was an amazing tour guide, she made everyone feel really comfortable and made the long drives go by faster with podcasts, games and music.

    Mexico intro is great. In the first week you learn all about the culture, meet friendly people, explore colorful cities and eat a wide variety of Mexican dishes. In the second week you go to the beach to relax. The excursions to the cenotes are particularly special. Recommended for anyone interested in traveling who enjoys company while getting to know new places.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      How does it work for the return flight? Would that be from Cancun since the Tour ends there? And what day/time would you recommend? Would there be a Transfer to the Airport?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      The Viva Mexico tour finishes in the beautiful palm-lined, tropical beach town of Playa del Carmen. If you're staying on longer in Playa del Carmen, or if you're going onto any other destination in Mexico, then don't worry, your group leader will help you organise all your onward and transport for you if not already pre-booked. If you're just doing our tour then going home, the closest airport to Playa del Carmen is Cancun International Airport. It's a simple 1 hour journey by taxi, which will cost around $30 USD. Alternatively, there are buses that go directly to the airport that cost around $10 USD (these leave every 2 hours from 5:00am to 8:00pm). We can organise this for you in Mexico.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      On our Mexico trips we can have up to 16 people so a great group size.

      We can certainly look into the possibility of a private room for you. However we do room you with someone of the same gender and try our best to room you with someone of a similar age. Group Members are in their hotel rooms for a very limited time throughout the trip, as there are activities most days and things planned most evenings. We have made some amazing improvements to this tour which has reduced our travel time including an internal flight!

      For Mexico the full cost with a private room is £2899 and for Central America 18 day it is £3299 and you may not be able to have private room during the Tecanago Volcano trek, as this is dependant on availability.
