    I truly felt that I saw the 'real' Mexico on this trip. It exceeded my expectations in terms of activities, accommodation and understanding/learning the Mexican culture. It helped having Adrianna as a great tour guide, knowing the ins and outs of the cities as well as hidden gems for good food!

    The tour is structured very well with heaps of flexibility, yet it hits all the must-see attractions. Pilar our guide was amazing and her help alone is worth going on the tour for.

    This was a fun, well-paced and excellently organised trip! Pilar was an outstanding tour leader with so much knowledge and passion to share. The group was comprised of wonderful, like-minded travellers which meant everyone got along really well. I certainly cherish the friends I made and the experiences I had on this trip.

    My tour was fantastic! Our guide Pilar was incredibly personable, friendly and knowledgeable. The Under 29s tour meant that most of us were solo travellers looking to meet people which resulted in us making some really great friends along the way! The Basix tour allowed us flexibility with day-to-day activities and food which made the trip even better. My Mexico trip made easy and stress-free - would definitely recommend!

      Our Real Mexico trip is an 18-29's itinerary, so that specific trip would not be a great fit! However, we do have a very similar itinerary called Mexico Unplugged, I have attached the trip notes for that tour for you. I do not see anything in the itinerary that you wouldn't be able to enjoy.
