Can this tour be done in reverse, starting in Mexico City and finishing in Cancun?

No, accommodation is not included in this type of trip. This is a flexible travel pass and you will be traveling independently. You can stay as long as you want in each destination but you need to book your own accommodation. We will book/reserve all your transportation and all your aforementioned day tours. The transportation is mainly by public buses, but we also book with local mini van shuttle suppliers.

how to arrange accommodation by ourself, why not include to the tour cost

Travel Passes include local transportation and hand-picked experiences. Accommodation is not included, giving you the freedom to choose your own and to travel at your own pace. This is done this way, so our travelers have more freedom while traveling. Also, this is an independent package, you won't have a tour leader or a group traveling with you. There are no fixed schedules, giving you full flexibility to change the dates (and pick your accommodation) on the go.

Can you confirm how the traveler can have accommodations? can you provide suggestions and a qoute? Single traveler.

We will need to know the type of accommodation that you prefer (hostel dorm, hostel private, 3-star hotel, 4-star hotel). Once we know this we can work on a proposal for you.

  as tourist, it is not easy to get booked hotels by ourself, Unless you suggest few hotels to book by ourself. So most group members are in in one or two locations, it will help better coordination of our travel. Do you have the similar tour in opposite direction. Cancun to Mexico city. Also please indicate the how many in the group and types of transport you goin to use
