11 day Yucatan Experience with Agatha

“Where do I begin! I had the most amazing 11 day tour in Mexico and would highly recommend it to everyone. It is a great way of meeting new people while experiencing a new culture - it is crazy how quickly the bond between everyone forms! There were little to no issues with any of the accomodations, except some Aircon/wifi issues which weren't a biggie. All accomodation staff were very helpful and kind. Cabanas coconut on Holbox was definitely a highlight accomodation and very authentic to the Holbox vibe. I also really liked Che hostel and the party vibe to meet other travellers. It was fantastic to see so many amazing sites in the Yucatan area in such a short space of time. The cenotes were stunning, chichen itza was a true marvel, the mezcal tasting was great fun, and the beach clubs made for the most chill of days! The optional activities were true highlights however and I believe they should be included as part of the whole stay! The sunrise paddleboarding in Bacalar was my favourite activity for sure, and the lunch with the Mayan family was so so special - and the best Mexican food I've ever had! The transport with Daniel was very comfortable and I really appreciated the snacks and cooler full of drinks he had for us! The downright star of this trip though was our amazing tour guide Agatha! I am so honored to now call Agatha my friend. She is an amazing fun person, but also is truly fantastic at her job!! She is a wealth of knowledge who could always lead us to an ATM or shop. She was so caring and would never leave anyone behind (there may be one night I had a drink too many and she took great care of me getting me home!!) She gave fantastic recommendations for food - I didn't have one bad meal this entire trip! I always enjoyed our conversations and she is just so fun! Te amo Agatha! Definitely would not have had the same experience without you!”

“Extremely well organised and planned tour, we packed so much in to the 10 days and had the best time. The value you get for your money is brilliant, with a lot of activities included in the up front price and options to do extra when you are there. Lau the tour guide was amazing, extremely knowledgeable about the area and give great tips on sight seeing, bars, restaurants etc at every stop on the tour. Also as a girl travelling, I have never felt safer as part of her tour group. Great trip if you want to immerse yourself in the culture while also having time to relax on the beach, highly recommend. Only downside was not all the accommodation had AC and it was extremely hot, especially in Bacalar. Other than that amazing!”
Top Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites in Mexico
Wonder at the impressive engineering feat that is Chichen Itza, one of the largest ancient Mayan cities in Mexico. Situated in Yucatan, the archeological site is dominated by the soaring El Castillo pyramid.
Absorb the electric atmosphere on the street in the handicraft markets of Puebla, a city built by the Spanish in south-central Mexico to such impressive dimensions it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Enter the shadowy interior of Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, constructed over 250 years from 1573 onwards on the site of the Aztec people’s holy precinct, and forming a truly monumental addition to Plaza de la Constitución in the Downtown district.
Head south to explore San Cristóbal del las Casas in Mexico’s highlands, where indigenous communities continue to live much as they have done since before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the fifteenth century.
