What is the minimum of guests for this tour? Does the October tour usually sells out?

We need at least 4 participants in order to confirm the booking, yes, we usually get people in October

I would like a list of the hotels or B&B on this tour. Usually, how many people are on this tour?

Regarding accommodations, most of our tours feature "conveniently-located, locally owned properties", basically smaller tourist-class (3* or similar) accommodations with private facilities in each room. The list of accommodations for each departure varies based on the number of participants and availability in particular hotels, thus the final list of hotels is normally sent to the traveler together with trip notes 1-2 weeks before the tour. What concerns this particular tour, to give you a better perspective of what to expect, some of the properties in previous departures were: • North 2 South Adventures (15D): Hotel Roble (Mexico City), Hotel Senorial (Puebla), Hotel San Judas (Mitla), Ahava Hotel (Playa del Carmen). • Colonial Heritage (9D): Hotel Roble (Mexico City), Hotel Refugio Victoria (Morelia), Hotel Chocolate Suites (Guanajuato). • Tales of Michoacan (8D): Hotel Roble (Mexico City), Hotel Refugio Victoria (Morelia), Hotel Boutique Casa Graciela (Patzcuaro), Hotel Hidalgo 1905 (Zamora), Los Azufres Spa Natural (Los Azufres). • Mexico: Yucatán, Cancun & Riviera Maya Adventure (8D): Adhara Hacienda Cancun (Cancun), Hotel Casa Margot (Holbox), Hotel Geyser (Valladolid).

Does this tour already have participants? We are looking for a group tour and do not want to be only people on tour.

Unfortunately, no more bookings at the moment. However, there's a confirmed departure for Apr 11-19, 2026

Could you please let me know if this tour will happen on January 31st 2026?

Driver was very good. Vehicle was good. Group size was good. Guide was nice, accommodating and knew Mexican history but seemed to have little knowledge of other topics such as Mexican economics, culture, topography, flora and fauna, museums, etc. The trip length is too short for the itinerary. Lots of prime time on the highway with only a few hours to see the sights on many days. Hotels were fine. Tourist class but clean and mostly centrally located except in San Miguel de Allende where the hotel was charming but quite a ways from the center. The itinerary that was sent before the start of the trip was incorrect so there was some disappointment about that from the group. Better planning and preparation would be good.Show more

Dear Maren, Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear that our tour could not fully meet your expectations - we will do our best to improve our services in the future. As you could have seen in the booking terms, a tour leader's (! not the same as a tour guide) responsibilities are to provide logistical support and historical/cultural info and orientation walks in the visited areas: "The Company selects experienced tour leaders that give participants maximum information on visited places and destinations in general, lead the group in nature, take care of safety and ensure smooth travel, transportation, accommodation, etc. However, tour leaders do not have to conduct excursions around visited settlements or at individual monuments." regards, gratefully, Vibe Adventures’ team

Our guide, Salvador Cordova, was an excellent person who was dedicated to a wonderful experience on the tour. He was well informed about facts on historical places on the Mexico: Colonial Heritage Tour. We adored him, and if he didn't know information, he informed himself with humility while we traveled. This was the first time he led this tour, as he learned about how to make the trip work for us. Overall, the trip to central Mexico was an incredible experience with art, architecture, religions, culture, and history that really was impressive.Show more
