    Interprid is a great company. Environmentally friendly, very well organized m. The trip was very well planned and varied. We saw and learned a lot in 2 weeks in this great country. I always felt very safe. Our tour guide Sabina was great. She had everything under control and was warm and very helpful. Any time again.

    Very interesting tour with cultural and nature highlights. We liked the flexibility through optional activities. Salvador was a very knowledgeable Tour guide and responded to many divers questions. The moderate price is understably correlated to mediocre hotels and sometimes strenuous transportation.

    The trip was very nice, interesting and informative. Our tour guide Sabina was simply great. She organized everything perfectly during the trip. The hotels were ok so far. You shouldn't expect too much. But the hotel in Playa del Carmen was subterranean in terms of space. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. Despite everything, the trip is definitely recommended.

    What an amazing adventure in Mexico! Our tour guide Suz was exceptional and truly made the trip special with her thoughtfulness and sense of humour. The places we visited were great and despite the service level being billed as 'Basix' on this trip, the hotels and transport were fantastic. Would highly recommend! Top tip, get some decent trainers as there is a lot of free time to explore, and I would suggest putting some research in before the trip for good restaurants and coffee places.
