Mexico Local culture Trips

The trip was as described in the brochure and was an excellent introduction to the food of Mexico and some of the archaeological sites. The guide Yves was extremely knowledgeable and a great story teller. His local knowledge was invaluable in spotting opportunities as they arose, and also in solving any difficulties. We were a group of 15 with a driver and a guide and were originally put in an 18 seater minibus. As some of the driving days were many hours long, we requested a larger and more comfortable bus and this was arranged. As some of the trips turned out to be even longer than planned, due to roadworks and unavoidable detours, this was an essential upgrade. One of the hotels, rated as premium, had, unbeknownst to either Explore or the local tour operator, had moved us to a much more basic accommodation. It was disappointing but Explore dealt with it in a very timely manner by refunding the cost of the two nights. Mistakes do happen but dealing with them is the mark of a good company. The group was mixed with some couples and some singles. I travelled on my own but there was always company for meals if I wanted it.

Fabulous trip with a lot crammed in and covered some key archaeological sites which were incredible. Palenque in particular was a real highlight. There is a lot of time spent travelling but that’s part of the trip and itinerary does clearly indicate this. Very little walking so hiking boots are not needed, just good trainers for climbing the steep steeps if the various pyramids. Our tour leader Ana was fantastic, she was friendly with a great sense of humour, and she ensured everyone in the group knew what to expect each day, and what clothing and equipment to wear/bring which was so useful as conditions varied across locations. Her knowledge of history and Mayan sites was incredible and I learnt loads and it help put the sites into context, she really made the trip enjoyable. The only thing I would change would be to include a trip to the museum of anthropology in Mexico City at the start of the trip to put the history in context and to see the treasures that were recovered at the various sites. Highly recommend

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.

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!

Just returned from Mexico with Intro Travel. Our group was lucky enough to have two tour leaders Jason and Ceci, both of which made our experience unforgettable. Cecis expert knowledge of Mexico made for an excellent trip and we have come away feeling like we have learnt so much about the country. Both Ceci and Jason were great fun and really helped the group gel, whilst also ensuring the tour ran very smoothly. As a vegetarian I was pleasantly surprised how many options I had to choose from at restaurants and both guides were great at suggesting vegetarian friendly restaurants and helping everyone translate menus and offer suggestions. I felt that vegetarians on the trip were very well catered for. Having done group tours before, I have never felt so well looked after and that safety was always a priority and our guides were great at checking in and making sure everyone was okay and everyones individual needs were met. I also felt that there was a really good mix of planned group activities and free time to either explore independently or have some down time to relax. Despite some longer drives between locations, the mini busses were comfortable and had air conditioning and even a TV to play movies in some. There were always stops along the way to break up the journey as well as comfort stops whenever needed. Our tour leaders also often used this time to tell us about the next days itinerary or about the location we were travelling to which worked really well. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore the highlights of Mexico with likeminded travellers. Myself and others in the group agreed that we would love to sign up to another Intro trip in the future if either Ceci or Jason was leading as they really did go above and beyond. An overall excellent first trip with Into travel!

I just completed my first Intro Travel tour in Mexico and it was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide Jason went above and beyond to ensure we had the best and most authentic experience possible. It was the perfect mix of hustle and bustle in the colourful cities and relaxing by the beautiful beaches - even managing to dodge Hurricane Milton. Cherry on top was having an epic group to experience it all with. Cant wait to book my next trip!
