Could you confirm if it's possible for travelers to pay with a deposit followed by a final payment? Also, please provide the deposit amount and the due date for the final payment.

Absolutely, you can secure your adventure by paying just the deposit first. The full payment will be required no later than 35 days before the departure date. This approach offers great flexibility, allowing you to plan your travel without worry.

Inquiring if the Colonial Mexico tour day 5, Tequila does it include the agave fields in the tour to the disterilly.

Yes, you ave some activities there: Day 5 Guadalajara. We'll journey through the fertile valleys of the state of Jalisco, with sweeping views of the blue agave fields—recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their cultural significance in tequila production. You'll visit the renowned Mundo Cuervo distillery, where we'll learn about the artisanal process of tequila production (admission and tasting included).

Can you confirm which day of the tour the visit is to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan as it is not listed in the daily itinerary but it is under the tour highlights?

How can we store two 23kg bags in Mexico City from 4-9 August please?

I need to pay for 3 travelers under one card + 1 passenger on another card, how do I go about it? Also need to confirm you accept Discover credit card for payment

Our platform currently accepts payments via Visa, Mastercard, or American Express, Google Pay or PayPal. Since the departure date for your tour is within 60 days, we will require full payment at the time of booking. If you're booking for four travellers and face an issue with a single transaction, we recommend booking three travellers together and processing another booking for the fourth traveller using a different card.

Is there a promotion code for this trip? Or an exemption for a single private room?

This tour does not have any discount, and yes, if you are travelling as solo you have to choose a single room. Currently our regular departures are operating with a minimum of two passengers.

I'm interested in a private tour for 2. We are interested in beginning in Puerto Vallarta and traveling on to the following destinations: Lake Chapala, Guadalajara, Ajijic, and Morelia. We would plan for a 7-10 day trip and prefer 4 star accommodations.

Unfortunately we cannot offer you that kind of personalized tour. However we can offer you these tours: Capitals of Mexico and Mexican dream.

Dear David, Thank you for your review. Our tour format combines guided visits with structured free time in each destination. This allows travelers to explore at their own pace after orientation and key explanations are provided. The program is not designed as a fully escorted walking tour at every stop, but rather as a circuit that includes transportation, accommodation, panoramic visits, and guided highlights as specified in the itinerary. If at any point expectations differed from the program description, we regret that perception and appreciate your comments, which help us clarify the nature of our tours for future travelers. Kind regards. Europamundo team

Good program, mostly excellent hotels , very comfortable bus, The main problem was that although half the large group of 30+ people were English speakers the primary language used was Spanish. Of the 2 guides the English speaking guide’s language was halting, hesitant, often unintelligible and nowhere near as complete as that of the Spanish guide .This gave the impression that the English speaking members of the group were decidedly second class. Also, she was only in the bus a portion of the trip. Those of us who understand some Spanish know that she didn’t explain in as much detail or give full commentary compared to the Spanish guide. This was even brought to her attention. It didn’t seem to make any difference.Show more

Dear Ian, Thank you for your detailed comments. Our tours are multilingual when specified, and service is provided in the languages indicated for each departure. In bilingual groups, explanations are delivered in both languages; however, the depth and delivery style may vary naturally between guides. That said, all essential information regarding visits, logistics and coordination must be provided equally to all passengers. We regret if at any point you felt that the English commentary did not meet your expectations. We will forward your observations to our local management team for evaluation and reinforcement where necessary. Regarding guide presence during certain stages, some parts of the program include local guides for specific visits while free time is also scheduled intentionally so travelers can explore independently. We value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to share it. Kind regards. Europamundo team

I enjoyed the trip overall. I would have skipped on the first dayand replaced it with a visit of Teothiuacan instead. I did not like the visit of the floating market and the visit to the basilica. We arrived late at the basilica and we could not visit the inside of the church aince it closed at 16h50. I would have enjoyed more time in some places and hotels with a more central location. I might have to return to have a more in depth experience of Guanujato, Guardalajara and Puebla since I could have spent a few says in each place. I did not enjoy the bed at Hotel Casa Blanca. It was hard like ciment. Both guides were good. Bus driver was a pro.Show more

Our recent Mexico tour of the colonial cities with Europamundo offered many memorable and culturally rich experiences. The itinerary was varied and engaging, and the hotels were, on the whole, of a very good standard. The guides—especially the Spanish-speaking academic—were very knowledgeable and passionate. However, several issues detracted significantly from the overall experience. Health and safety on the coach were concerning. There was no first aid kit onboard—despite two passengers needing one—no emergency hammers for the windows, and a toilet that was both poorly maintained and essentially off-limits, even to those with medical/prostate needs. This created unnecessary discomfort, with passengers expected to wait and pay for facilities at rest stops. An unsettling moment came when we were just metres away from a roadblock on the other side of the motorway involving local bandits. While the guides and driver remained calm, the lack of a clear safety protocol and the vague reassurance that the driver could “handle any situation” did not inspire confidence. Additionally, the tour was advertised as including a visit to the pyramids near Mexico City, which turned out to be incorrect. It took time, stress and persistence for Europamundo to acknowledge this and offer compensation. Communications with the company, particularly online, were sometimes defensive and inflexible rather than customer-focused. Although both the Spanish and English guides were excellent, English-speaking passengers missed out on much of the in-depth commentary offered by the academic professor—an unfortunate gap on a tour so centred around history and culture. Some itinerary choices—like a roadside bar with live music and an Italian designer outlet village—were very unpopular and felt like a poor use of time possibly linked to incentives for the tour company, delaying our arrival at hotels. Including more meals in the tour price would also improve value and convenience. In summary, while the tour had many strong points and fascinating destinations, especially for church lovers, issues around safety, communication, and content delivery need to be addressed for it to reach its full potential.Show more

Thank you for your detailed feedback on your Mexico tour with Europamundo. We’re glad you enjoyed the rich itinerary, comfortable hotels, and knowledgeable guides. However, we sincerely apologize for the concerns you raised regarding coach safety, communication issues, and the missing pyramids visit, as well as the gap in English commentary and some itinerary choices. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will review our safety protocols, communication practices, and tour content to ensure a safer, smoother, and more enjoyable experience for all travelers.

We really enjoyed the trip to Mexico. My wife and I were delighted to see Mexico City, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and San Miguel de Allende. The hotels were quality places. Rooms were clean and neat. We took a nice boat ride in Patzcuaro. We saw beautiful old Catholic churches. The people in Mexico were nice. Of course, it helped that I spoke Spanish fluently. Our tour guide, Maria, did a good job, was nice, helpful, and relaxed. Enjoyed the food. We hope to visit some more places around the world. In the next 10-15 years. I wish we had had a little more time at a few places that we visited. Overall, pleased and would do a trip again with Europamundo.Show more
