What people love about Mexico Tours
- Mexico Yucatán Experience
Where do I even begin? This tour honestly was beyond what I expected. Mexico has a very rich and colorful culture and we did so many things that made us experience such. It was the perfect mix of fun and chilled activities. Would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family. Manu has been an exceptional tour guide, he made us feel like we are one big family and I just felt very secured during the whole trip. Overall, definitely 10/10!
- Essential Central Mexico
Kevin was an excellent guide. Hotels in all of the centers were very good with the exception of the hotel in Puerto Vallarta. This Hotel was in a very noisy section of town. Time in Mexico city requires fine tuning for example a brief city tour would be useful.
- Wonders of the Maya
Saul was absolutely fantastic. He is a very knowledgable, charming and professional guide. I will be recommending him and tour radar to all of my friends.

Based on the feedback we've collected, TruTravels really shines through their guides - Manu gets mentioned often by our travelers for creating a tight-knit group feeling while keeping everyone safe and having fun. Over at Explore, Ruben stands out for being flexible with the daily plans and sharing deep local knowledge that you won't find in guidebooks. G Adventures has solid tour organization down pat, and their Chief Experience Officers Laura and Kevin know their stuff, though some travelers have mentioned the hotels can be hit or miss. Intrepid puts together good routes and itineraries, but we've heard from a few customers who wished for clearer communication and more attention to the small details that make a trip special. Bamba Experience handles problems quickly when they pop up - their support team is really responsive, which matters when there's an occasional hotel issue. Their problem-solving approach has earned them quite a few positive comments from our travelers who appreciate how fast they sort things out. What's interesting is how each company has its own way of doing things - TruTravels focuses on building that group connection, Explore leans into local expertise, G Adventures balances organization with experience and Bamba Experience puts their energy into customer support.

"Sure! Here’s a more polished version as a review: I went on my first group tour to Mexico over Christmas and New Year, and it was absolutely unforgettable! I was a bit nervous at first, but from the moment I met our guide, Luis, I felt completely at ease. He was more like a friend than a tour guide, and his warm personality made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. Luis not only shared fascinating insights about Mexican culture, but also gave us valuable life lessons that I’ll carry with me. His food recommendations were spot-on, and we always knew where to grab a delicious breakfast during our free time. His organization and daily briefings kept everything running smoothly, even though I’ll admit I forgot half of the details by the next morning (oops!). He showed us all the hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, and he truly went the extra mile to make our Christmas and New Year celebrations special. He made reservations at some incredible spots, ensuring we had the best possible experience. The group’s age range was from 24-43, and even though I was the youngest, I felt welcomed and comfortable. I also met some amazing people and formed lifelong friendships, which was an unexpected and wonderful bonus. If you’re considering booking a trip, don’t hesitate—book it now! It truly was the best time of my life, and when I return to Mexico, I’ll definitely be reaching out to Luis again. He’s hands down the best tour guide you could ask for!

"Overall I enjoyed the trip and we saw quite a lot in a short period of time. Some of the hotels were not very good especially the hotel in Merida (dirty sheets and towels and smell from drains), Flores gutamela (poor quality hotel and dirty towels again) and the hotel in playa del carmen was beside a night club so the walls were vibrating from the base of the music. There was some free time and activities were good but the activities later in the trip were quite over priced (Guatemala and Belize). Think some of the itinerary can be looked at also as unsure if one spot can be missed or longer as felt like not a lot of time in Guatemala and Belize and both squeezed in with long 9 hour bus days for both. Use of public buses is fine but one was when all group of 17 got on and all bus full so standing for trip. Not ideal especially when members of group were ill. Think use of a public bus for long trips on a long travel day should be looked at as it makes a long day worse when ill members and standing.

Best places to start your Mexico tour
Mexico City serves as the main starting point for most of our tours, with 57 customers beginning their Mexican journey right from the capital. You've got good options though - Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta and also Tuxtla Gutierrez all work well as kickoff points. Most of our travelers book about 3.5 months ahead (that's 107 days if you're counting), though you'll want to move faster during December and Easter when spots fill up quickly. What really stands out in recent feedback is how well cultural experiences mesh with active exploration - people love combining local market visits and cooking classes with trips to ancient sites. The best time to visit is October through April for good weather and value, though you'll find something special in every region no matter when you go.
