Mexico City 14-Day Tours and Trips

As this was my first group, I chose this itinerary as it alternates days of travel with full days in a location - when I cold choose between group activities and visiting on my own. Everything went very well - the trip leader was competent and provided excellent info and advice.

The title of this tour describes the itinerary. We explored archaeological sites galore, toured historical city centers, visited local artisans, and ate lots of Mexican (and some Mayan) food. The hotels were all comfortable, and the baos mostly had toilet paper and soap. We had opportunities to swim and to visit a cenote.

This is my first group trip. I am a woman and I travel alone. The tour offered culture and nature. I am interested in arts and crafts, so I saw some relevant museums. The social unity of the group was good. The hotels were fine. The trip is recommended.

It was a life changing experience for me. The range in ages, nationalities and social backgrounds created a wonderful melting pot. I have made some lifelong friends on this trip.

Well-paced trip without being exhausting - excellent Explore leader, Ana: very knowledgeable and professional providing exactly the right level of information. Group was small but very companionable as one might expect from regular Explore travellers. As a suggestion the itinerary might benefit from a stay in Puebla and one less night in Mexico City - which would reduce the travelling time on one of the longer days - but that is an observation rather than a criticism. Elected not to do the Yucatan extension, so cannot comment but would expect that would be as good if one had the time.

Just after finishing nearly 2 weeks on the Viva La Mexico and it was unreal! The accommodation, food and culture was fabulous. This would not have been possible without our amazing Intro leader Vitor. He was always smiling and keeping everyone feeling positive even when we ran into a roadblock. This roadblock could have taken days off our trip, cause us to miss multiple activities and ruin it but thanks to Vitor, he was able to save it ‚ My favourite hotel was in Bacalar with a stunning Blue Lagoon. I would definitely do another trip with intro again.
