What people love about In-depth Cultural Tours in Mexico
- Riviera Maya Adventure 7D/6N
Cannot fault Bamba Experience. This was my first time solo travelling, and they made it so easy. There is a downloadable itinerary with a chat option if you come across any problems. I had a couple of queries along the way, which Bamba quickly sorted. The hostels were brilliant, and all very close to the bus stations, making it easy to get from one place to another. My only small gripe is that the one in Tulum had no AC. I am from Scotland, and found this very difficult! The included Chichen Itza trip was the highlight, and the tour guide Frank was fantastic. I thoroughly recommend this trip, and would be happy to book with Bamba again in the future.

Our guide Enrique and driver Riccardo we’re both very accomodating and provided great support making our trip stress free. At every stop Enrique checked accomodation, explained breakfast, meals and checked the room. His knowledge of each site and the historical context of significant events was exceptional. We would highly recommend this trip with this guide and driver
- Classic Mexico Adventure
I really liked almost everything about the tour! I would just give and opinion which is, that maybe the end destination should not be Playa del Carmen, because there is really nothing to see, and the beach is not all that great! really nothing special and just for the beach and party factor I believe it would be better to finish the tour in Cancun or Tulum, which has more historic things to see. That is just my opinion. Oh and all accommodations should really have AC. The guide Sid was Awesome! Would really like him on my next trip as well.
