SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES IN MEXICO

Looking for that sweet spot between independent backpacking and a package holiday?

Travelling as part of a Small Group tour has its perks.   There are local expert tour leaders to take the hassle out of travel arrangements and show you the sights, plus a group of like-minded travellers to share the fun with.  All you have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport

Groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning the trips aren’t disruptive to the places you visit, and a smaller number creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in travel.

Got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over half of the travellers on Small Group trips are travelling solo.

Beyond the stereotypes of mariachi bands, tequila and tacos, Mexico is a cultural giant of the Americas.

A huge, diverse country, its history stretches across thousands of years from the ancient Olmec, Maya, and Aztec, and then three centuries of harsh Spanish rule.

For all its familiarity, Mexico is capable of surprising at every turn.

Mexico City is easily the most vibrant, culture-packed locale in all of Mexico, contrasting completely with some of the best national parks on the planet

• Explore the timeworn pyramid of Chichen Itza and pay respect to the Maya tomb of Palenque.
• Immerse yourself in Mexican culture with a cooking lesson from a local family
• Join Day of the Dead festivities to witness a carnival of colour, upbeat music, and delicious local food
• Join a cycling tour through age-old Maya villages
• Swim in the shimmering turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

MEXICO HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Beaches and beach life do rank high as reasons to visit Mexico but add to the mix ancient sites and vibrant indigenous culture, the cosmopolitan neighbourhoods of the world's largest city and a cuisine successfully exported around the world, and you've got yourself una buena vacacion!

• Party until dawn in Playa del Carmen
• Eat your way into a food coma in Oaxaca
• Kick back with a horchata in the lazy seaside port of Merida
• Feel the allure of the majestic snow-capped Popocatépetl Volcano in Puebla, or hike smaller peaks in the Sierra Madre
• Go grey whale watching or for the really brave, get up close and personal and cage dive with Great White Sharks

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who deliver the best possible holidays for my clients. I remain independent and have the flexibility to provide you with the best package to suit your specific needs and budget. I search the whole market to find the best deals for every aspect of your trip so that you don’t have to, providing honest and impartial advice.

Some small group tours are run by the operator I book and some are contracted to a specialist small group operator. Either way, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the tour allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. When the holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is part of the price shown, with no opt-out, and I keep a record of each payment. My Traveller’s Pledge and full approach are on my Responsible Travel page.
