NEW Trip – Ladakh Mountain Biking AdventureView Trip Details

Mexico is a land of incredible beauty and contrast. The variety of dramatic landscapes on offer is astounding, from extensive coastline fringed with pristine beaches to cactus-studded deserts, snowcapped volcanoes and lush jungles littered with the ruins of ancient civilisations; and the nation's rich culture, cuisine and art are among the world's most vibrant.

This is an exciting, expansive country with extraordinary environmental and cultural diversity, energetic cities and rich pre-Columbian and colonial history. Join us as we explore this incredible country!

Tour the spectacular ruined cities of Mexico's pre-Hispanic civilisations, from the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan, to the Mayan jungle sanctuary of Palenque, the remarkable ancient structures of Uxmal and Kabah, and the striking Mayan temples of Chichen Itza.

Be blown away by the beauty and grandeur of Sumidero Canyon, a lush river gorge whose steep cliffs tower up to a kilometer above you; and unwind with a cold drink on the perfect white sand beaches of Cancun.

Discover culture, cuisine and history in the busy streets and world-class museums of Mexico City, Mexico's overwhelming capital; then grab your camera and explore the cobblestoned streets, striking cathedrals and colonial architecture of charming San Cristobal De Las Casas.

Wherever you go, the vibrant cultures, brilliant colours and welcoming people of Mexico are bound to captivate. Take a look at our unique itineraries and start planning your Mexican adventure of a lifetime!

Our all inclusive approach

All of our Mexico journeys are highly inclusive, making them great value for money. We aim to incorporate as many inclusions as possible into the tour cost such as carefully selected quality accommodation, most meals, private vehicles and excursions.

Experienced local guides

Our guides in the field are what make your Mexico experience special. They are a passionate group of tourism professionals with extensive knowledge of the long and varied history of civilisations from the local ruins to the best walking trails and most authentic restaurants.

Custom adventures

With our team of local experts, we can customise your Mexico experience to create the perfect holiday should you wish to extend your time discovering Mexico's bustling capital or exploring the magnificent ruins of Chichen Itza.


 

Leave No Trace

We operate our itineraries following the principles of Leave No Trace, ensuring that we take out all waste that we bring in and more where possible.

Child safe tourism

Children working and living in tourist areas are especially vulnerable to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. We protect vulnerable children by adhering to our Child Protection Code of Conduct.

Animal welfare focus

We advocate for cruelty free animal encounters, encouraging travellers to follow the guidelines in our comprehensive Animal Welfare Code of Conduct as we seek to inform stakeholders about animal welfare matters.


Hotels

In cities or large towns you will be accommodated in 3 to 4 star properties that are centrally located, atmospheric and reliable.


A custom made itinerary is the ultimate way to see the world how YOU want. They are created especially for you, giving you complete freedom to choose what you want to see, where you want to go and when you want to do it. If you love our current itineraries but want to customise it privately as a couple, a group of friends, family, club, business or school, you have the freedom to add or remove as many elements as you like to suit the interests of your group. Alternatively, you can start with a blank canvas and create a new and exciting itinerary from scratch! Our well-travelled consultants can give you firsthand suggestions and eliminate any uncertainty with trip planning to ensure you maximise the quality of your experience and get truly off the beaten track. Simply email, phone or visit us to start planning your dream adventure.

Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa, MasterCard and American Express. ATMs are available in most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money.

ATM's are available in most cities.

Although many businesses will accept foreign currency (particularly US Dollars) it is best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many casas de cambio (exchange houses), which have longer hours and offer a quicker service than the banks.

Our industry leading risk management procedures have become a skill that we continue to refine. Our leaders in the field are highly trained and have safety as their number one priority. Expert leaders, risk assessments, quality inclusions and your financial security all come standard when you travel with us.

Please refer to our Travel Advisory page for updates on recent events, travel warnings and advice.

We strongly recommend that all clients take out travel insurance at the time of booking to cover against sickness, accident, loss of baggage, unexpected alterations to travel arrangements and travel disruption, emergency evacuation, cancellations, etc. Insurance information is enclosed with your pre-departure information.

Money and valuables should always be stored safely when travelling. Keep your passport with you at all times and do not leave it in your main luggage. You will need it to change money and check into hotels. Where safety deposit boxes are available, we recommend that you use them. Keep jewellery and valuables to a minimum.
