    Nancy

    Asked on November 21st, 2025

    I just wanted to enquire about the longer bus trips on the Aztecs and Mayas tour. I was wondering how often there were stops to stretch and maybe go to the toilet. Also, are they tour buses or public buses? Tour looks fantastic btw - I am quite fit but just need to stretch every hour or so if sitting down. If this tour doesn't sound suitable for me I would appreciate any recommendations.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Destination Services MexicoOperatorWritten November 2025

      It is usually operated in a Van or Sprinter, depending on the number of passengers. The longest stretch is from San Cristóbal de las Casas to Palenque, and it typically takes place very early in the morning; most of our travelers use this time to rest during the drive. We understand that stops can be important; however, making one every hour would alter the itinerary and could prevent us from completing all the scheduled visits. Even so, our team always does its best to make the journey as comfortable as possible for everyone.

    Connie

    Asked on October 27th, 2025

    How do we arrange hotel transfer at that time? How many people, maximum, will be on this tour? What type of vehicle? Can you arrange an extra night in Cancun after the end of the tour, and a possible 3-day stay in Tulum after the tour, and transportation back to Cancun for our flight home?

      Usually, the groups are not very crowded but the maximum number we have is 30. The type of vehicle to be used depends on how many people is taking the tour. We can provide options for transfers and post accommodation so you can book those services with us if you are happy with the options we offer.

      Also what happens if we have a issue in the middle of the tour or post payment who do we contact what name is there phone number given you won't give these details

    • Destination Services MexicoOperatorWritten July 2025

      Since this is a shared tour, can the guides speak both English and Spanish, or only English if the group only speaks English. Arrival transfer is included in the program on the available date chosen by the client from Mexico City airport to hotel on Mexico City. Transfer from the hotel in Mexico to the Mexico City airport is also included so clients can board their flight to Tuxtla Gutierrez. Our service ends by dropping clients off at the hotel they have booked themselves at the end of the itinerary. Once the reservation is confirmed, a welcome letter is sent to clients one week before the program begins. We include a WhatsApp support number where they can contact us for assistance if needed. Before our clients arrive in Mexico, we follow up with them through this channel.

    I wanted to find out more about the ratings of the hotels you will be using on this tour. Also my friend and I are planning to travel to Tulum for a 2 days after we finish with you at Cancun, can you advise me how easy this is to do?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Destination Services MexicoOperatorWritten May 2025

      The hotels we use in standard category are 3 stars and in superior category 4 stars. We suggest you to look for information about the published hotels, however, these are not the final ones, depending on availability we can confirm in similar hotels in 3 or 4 stars depending on the category you book. At the end of your tour we can drop you off in the center of Tulum so that you can take a taxi to take you to the hotel you have booked on your own. We did not enter the hotel zone of Tulum.

    Alicia

    Asked on April 21st, 2025

    I am interested to travel in the Aztecs & Mayas tour starting from 9th June 2025. I am a solo traveller, 74 years old male Singaporean. Are you able to purchase for me the internal flight ticket from Mexico City to Tuxtla Gutierrez? If yes, let me know the payment details. In Chichen Itza, are we visiting the pyramids there? Not specifically mentioned in the itinerary. As it is termed as 'Private tour', can that be included in the itinerary? At least a short visit for a photo shoot. In Cancun, I need your optional 1 night stay + airport transfer at your standard hotel near the airport. How & when do I make the payment for this? Any travel formalities for Singapore citizens?
