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.

It was amazing, everything was well planned and went very smoothly. I got to experience Mexican culture and had alot of fun doing all the activities that were planned out. Would definitely recommend doing this tour to my friends

Mexico is an amazing place to explore, filled with rich culture, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences—and when the sun goes down, the vibrant nightlife truly brings the country to life for everyone. From lively clubs to cozy rooftop bars, there's something for every taste. And it’s all thanks to our incredible tour guide, who made every moment exciting and unforgettable!

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.

The trip was amazing from the get go. It was so well organised and easy as a traveller to do as much or as little as you wanted. was super knowledgable about everywhere we visited and you could especially passionate about giving us the best recommendations for what we wanted, even going out to his way to show us some of his personal favourites in his free time. There was so much packed into the trip even on travel days having the opportunity to stop at unique smaller towns and sights we might have missed otherwise. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
