Our tour leader was brilliant. For me much of the accommodation did not reflect the usual qualities that Explore embodies, particularly the Mision Hotel in Oaxaca and the Hotel Quinta Regia in Valladolid which were large sprawling neglected hotels. We also had problems with the transport as the new local provider was initially keen to give us a different driver on a daily basis and provide inadequate minibuses, until the group complained to Explore. Tulum was an endurance of tourist hype but the other sites were fascinating, particularly those that were quieter and remote.

Fantastic experience with so much to see and do

Excellent itinerary and leader. Generally poor accommodation

AnonymousOn Feb 17, 2025

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
