Merida Explorer Trips

Absolutely fabulous trip. Experienced so many different cultures and saw such a contrast of beautiful countries. Our guide Mayra made the trip so special, her knowledge was incredible and she shared her passion and enthusiasm about all the amazing archaeological sites that we Visted. It’s full on but you are so well guided and looked after that the pace was very manageable and enjoyable. Great tour , great group.

Our trip was excellent. We had a very good itinerary, interesting and varied. We visited amazing archeological sites, saw beautiful landscapes from the volcanos in Sierra Madre to rain forest and a the tropical island of Caye Caulker. An unexpected bonus was seeing lots of wildlife in Guatemala. We also had the opportunity to visit local artisan families and experience life in charming towns. Our tour guide Mayra Fiesco was amazing, she had excellent knowledge and was extremely helpful making everything run smoothly. We also had excellent drivers making us feel safe during all journeys. It was a fantastic holiday!!

Good coverage of cultural highlights Mexico had to offer. Excellent guide. Accommodation in few places esp in Mexico City, Cali and Merida could be better ! Otherwise an excellent trip with good exposure to Mexico !

Great tour. Ana was fantastic. The jungle lodges were excellent. Suggest improvements: Premium hotels need to be more central in the major cities. Location is more important than swimming pools. We missed out in Oaxaca especially. You must include a stop in Puebla, especially as we drive right past it. I visited separately and it’s a great stop off.

Tour leader and itinerary excellent but accommodation and breakfasts generally poor Having a fridge as a basic standard in a hot climate is a must but most accommodation did not have this. Sometimes in the same hotel fridges and safes were available but not in Explore's standard rooms Breakfast was often chaotic given other tour groups

Tour guide and itinerary excellent but some of the accommodation was poor eg dark with no fridge and in some cases the bathrooms were not clean. Often better accommodation in the same hotel was available but Explore went for the absolute basic criteria. Breakfast was hit and miss in terms of quality and ambience ( sometimes chaotic with other tour groups)
