Mexico Solo Tours for Single Travelers

A wonderful place to go and a full itinerary made sure we saw the best of it. Explore made sure everything went well, and I would have no hesitation in using them again. A top trip.

This trip is 2 weeks full of interesting history, places, culture and food. The perfect way to experience Mexico and all that it has to offer; from the city, to the jungle, to the beach, to the colonial towns and everything in between!

This was a wonderful trip with a varied itinerary and a delightful group of travelers. The bus was a bit crowded and hot making some of the very long travel days a bit uncomfortable. Some buses had a few seatbelts, others NONE. Our guide, Joshua, was excellent: always in good spirits, very knowledgeable and a good administrator. My only recommendation would be for him to break up some of those long travel days with more commentary on the bus. I'm sure I will not be alone in mentioning the border crossing at Puerto Fronterizo Subteniente Lopez on 11/24. We were denied entry for almost two hours. Essentially they are trying to keep tourists from crossing there to reduce their workload. (We observed maybe 2 people crossing the border over a two hour period.)They did not even allow us to sit in the empty chairs...Joshua held his ground and performed beautifully to get us into Mexico. Loved the archeological sites...loved the cenotes! I'll be back on another Explore trip soon!

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.

Luis Flores is a tremendous guide with lots of knowledge and great historical context but also a very pleasant character and cheerful personality. He took us to some wonderful local restaurants, and organised excellent optional activities. We loved the wide range of activities in the itinerary... Spectacular ruins but also cenotes, boat trips, church visits etc. The highlight was definitely the visit to the cemetery for Dia Des Muertos in Oaxaca. We have already recommended this trip to many friends and will continue to do so! Well done and thank you for adding these memories to our life.

An excellent opportunity to explore many of the archeological sites in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize under the guidance of our extremely knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide Ana. This is a ‘full on’ tour, with some very long drives, but well worth it. There is a fair amount of walking, as well as climbing at many of the sites, and a good level of fitness is needed, particularly in view of the hot, sunny and humid days that we experienced on many days. We booked our trip to coincide with ‘Day of the dead’ celebrations in Oaxaca, which was an amazing experience. Accommodation generally poor, and not to Explore’s normal standards. All in all, a great 3 week trip.
