“My first time in mexico. I wanted to visited one of the main wonders of the world. So many tour groups and guides to choose from so hard to know which one to pick but glad i picked this one. John was the tour guide and hes one of the best guides ive ever had. He tokd us the history. Any questions he would answer. Hes very honest friendly and funny. Welcomes feedback. So if your with john your in good hands. Only thing id say to improve is yo give an extra 30 mins at each stop to be less rushed to eat and experience tge tequila talk and…”

See Chichén Itzá, swim in Cenote Chichikan, taste tequila, and visit Valladolid on a long, budget-friendly day from Cancun.

“The tour was not as advertised. The sites were great and I believe our guide made a good effort to engage the group with good information about the sites, but there were a few major issues. First, the night before our tour, we were informed that we need to be ready for pickup by 6:50 through their automated text messages. We waited for almost an hour and no one came and it was only until I called their representative then that they informed us that our pickup time is ACTUALLY 7:50. At the end, we didn't get picked up until well past 8am. I am not sure why there is…”

Reach Teotihuacan before the crowds, explore its pyramids with a guide, then choose an obsidian workshop and Mexican lunch.

“Everyone was kind and helpful. The bus ride was comfortable. The food after was pretty ok too. Once getting to the site I would ask for your ticket. We decided to use the bathroom at gate 2 and they wouldn’t let us in because we didn’t have the site ticket. So make sure and get that. We had to buy another one to get back in. I would also suggest that starting early at the moon pyramid would make more sense. By the time we got there it was crowded. These are just my ideas but still I enjoyed it.”

“I had such a wonderful time today on the tour of UNAM, Xochimilco, Coyoacán, and the Frida Kahlo Museum with our guides Alex and Fernanda. In particular, Alex, who led the English portion of the tour, was outstanding. As a UNAM graduate himself, he explained everything with clear logic and in simple English, making it easy to follow even though English is not my native language. Thanks to him, I was able to truly understand the stories behind Mexico and its key historical figures. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the rich history and art of Mexico City!Read more”

Review of Cabo’s Migrino ATV tour, with beach and desert riding, hotel pickup, tequila tasting, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“We had an excellent ATV adventure with Real Baja Tours and Travel, LLC. From start to finish, the owner truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Communication was outstanding, the ATVs and Can-Am vehicles were in great working condition, and our guide was skilled, professional, and clearly cared about our safety and enjoyment. We made the mistake of booking a tour that was a little too close to our cruise departure time, but instead of it becoming a problem, the company stepped up in a big way. The owner personally arranged an early taxi to ensure we made it back to the ship on…”

Float over Teotihuacan at sunrise, then enjoy cave breakfast, mezcal tasting, and a guided pyramid visit from Mexico City.

“It's an early morning, but totally worth it. They picked us up and my rental, gave us coffee and snacks and took lots of pictures before our flight. The pictures were available for sale but the staff didn't pressure us to buy. The hot air balloon ride over the pyramids was breathtaking and our operator was fun friendly and professional. We even toasted after landing. Breakfast in the cave was a bit loud, but the food was delicious, and the live drumming and dancing were fun to experience. Between breakfast and touring Teotihuacan, we briefly toured the rest of the cave and went to the tasting which was fun and…”

Snorkel with sea turtles at Akumal and swim through a crystal-clear Yucatan cenote on this practical half-day tour from Cancun.

“Our tour guide, Daniel San Francisco, and photographer Maxi, were amazing. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited, was very friendly, funny, and easy to get along with. Maxi was very nice, though quiet, but his photography spoke volumes. The photos he showed the group at the end were amazing. They were a great pair, and took good care of the group. It was a little bit of a colder day (by Mexico standards), so the cenote and snorkeling with turtles were not busy at all. We saw multiple turtles, sting rays, and beautiful coral formations.”
