About this trip
This 12-day guided trip moves through Mexico's pre-Hispanic history and its Magical Towns, the small settlements recognised for the culture and traditions that have shaped the country.
Every transfer, night in a 3 to 5 star hotel and 18 meals are arranged for you, with journeys made in air-conditioned vehicles.
You'll have a certified English-speaking guide throughout, there to bring the archaeological sites and town histories to life rather than leave you reading plaques.

- Guides consistently praised by name: Alejandro, Manuel Terrazas, Silvia all delivered outstanding, knowledgeable tours.
- Mexico City and other sites felt rushed; limited time to absorb places properly across 12 days.
- Pricing felt steep to at least one traveller relative to what was actually included.
- Food and scenery genuinely impressed; peaceful pacing outside major hubs made for restorative experience.
