The tour says it finalizes in Cozumel, but the last day indicates Playa del Carmen. According to how the tour is indicated, the trip to Cozumel by ferry is optional and has a cost, is that correct?

The finishing point hotel for this trip is in Playa del Carmen. While Cozumel is featured as an optional excursion during the tour, the ferry trip to Cozumel is not included in the tour price and is available at an additional cost.

We Are 4 persons and want to start the Tour on 28.10. So We can be on the 1. and 2. 11. in Oxaca. Is this possible?

Would just like to enquiry average age of tour participants please?

I am a healthy, active 83 year old. How will I fit with this type of tour?

None of the activities featured in this trip require special training or skills, just a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to participate. Cobblestones and uneven roads are common and you may be required to walk in hot and humid conditions. One thing to note is some travel days will be long, reaching up to 8 hours. Occasional breaks are built in to help reduce the long travel times but it is something to note.

Do you arrange the flights? I know we have to pay for them but what are the airports and transfers? What hotels are we going to and from?

Sorry, we don't assist with booking flights. You can book flights directly via TourRadar here. We can, however, arrange transfers for your arrival and departure. Arrival transfer – Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) to Ibis Styles Mexico Reforma: USD 120.00. Arrival transfer – Mexico City Airport (MEX) to Ibis Styles Mexico Reforma: USD 83.00. Departure transfer – Hotel Hacienda Maria Bonita to Cancun Airport (CUN): USD 105.00

Is tour suitable for an 80yr old woman?

This trip is rated a 2 out of 5 on our physical scale. None of the activities featured in this trip require special training or skills, just a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to participate. Cobblestones and uneven roads are common and you may be required to walk in hot and humid conditions.

How early do I need to book my departure transfer?

It is recommended to book your departure transfer at least 7 days prior to your departure date to ensure availability.

Why Cancun is not included in the itinerary?

Due to the routes and experiences that we aim to provide unfortunately, Cancun did not fit in when planning out our itinerary.

Is insurance mandatory for the trip?

Yes, travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips for international travelers. You must be covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation.

I'm interested in the tour and would like to know, if there is a possibility to get an own single room? If yes, how much would it cost additionally?

Firstly, our tour guide Val was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and organised. The ruins we visited were amazing with so much history and intrigue; the meals we ate with local families gave an insight into the real Mexico and not just coastal resorts. Food was great but remember the food is authentic, don't expect the western version, it was so refreshing. The cities and towns we visited had a charm and warmth that match that of the locals, we never felt unsafe and enjoyed the whole experience.Show more
