Mexico City Local culture Trips

If I could relive it again, I would. The tour gave me a perfect taste of Mexico, and increased my travelling confidence to the point I would be willing to return by myself. I made exceptional friends on this tour, many of whom I have remained in contact with and intend to visit in their respective countries. The convenience of having all of the admin pre-organised for you is such a luxury, and I will definitely look to do another G-Adventures tour in the future.

What a trip!! This trip had a great balance of fun and culture but was made perfect by having , the most amazing trip manager. went above and beyond to give us all the local knowledge at each stop and made sure to even book the best bars for the whole group even on our free days. If I could add anything to the trip it would be more options for free time add ons in the later stops.

This is a tour of archeological sites mixed with typical mexican dishes and exploration of Mexican Landscapes and sometimes even birdlife. We began in Mexico City - where I would recommend to arrive 1-2 days early Try to book tickets for night performance at Palacio de Bellas artes & if you like Frida Kahlo. Coyoacan itself was very turisty - too crowded (did not like that so much). We loved the new feature -the excellent Jamaica Market in Mexico City - which is an amazing food- flower - fruit market. Some of the rides between Mexico City- Puebla-Oaxaca- Chiapas- San Cristobal-Palenque-Campeche and Merida can be rather long - around 5-6 hours in a bumby buss, so although the pace is moderate be aware that you are driving long distances. We loved Puebla - an old colonial spanish city, Oaxaca - nice colorfull - the sumidiero canyon (amazing boat ride along grand canyon like landscape). Of course the archeological sites are great and impressive (I liked Palenque). The food is a majority of meat but you do get to sample a lot of different foods - fruit & fish included, some I liked and some were not to my taste (but all good quality). The cooking class was great. The good part is that all breakfast is included and some of the lunches or diners too. Don't expect much of the swimming pools - they are rather small. The last day we went to swim in a cenote - which was awesome - a sort of sinkhole. Our tourleader gave us detailed explanations about archeology - he has a university degree in this. The advantage of this tour is that you get to stay in some places for 2-3 nights so this makes the tour more relaxing than others. There are no beach opportunities, unless you go the last days to Cancun. I would definately recommend this tour as I think the combination of food - markets and archeology is more varied and offers a more interesting perspective than only the archeology.

I really enjoyed my trip with Roamies to Mexico. It showed me just how beautiful and exciting Mexico is, with a perfect balance of food, culture, beach days, and nightlife! Ingrid was an excellent guide, who went above and beyond for everyone on the tour. As a solo woman traveller I would definitely recommend the trip to anyone who would like to see the wonderful country of Mexico! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Incredible experience. The country’s rich history and vibrant culture made every moment fascinating. From exploring ancient Mayan ruins to strolling through charming colonial towns, there was always something new to discover. The selection of hotels was excellent, offering a mix of comfort, authenticity, and great service. A highlight of the trip was our guide, Josh. His deep knowledge of Mexican history, culture, and traditions truly brought the experience to life. He was not only informative but also friendly and engaging, making every tour both educational and entertaining. Overall, this trip exceeded expectations, blending history, great accommodations, and outstanding guidance into an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our recent highlights tour of Mexico. There was lots to see and explore. We thought the ancient sites were magnificent. However, we recommend that people arrive in Mexico city a couple of days beforehand to acclimatise and really explore this magnificent city and its museums. In Particular the Anthropology museum. We really enjoyed the mountainous regions, and the indigenous areas were just so interesting. The towns and cities of San Christobal De las casas, Campeche and Merida were splendid and worth staying for longer and really getting to know. Playa del Carmen at the end of the trip was a huge disappointment. It's not worth the effort and is a little tacky.
