From pristine Caribbean and Pacific beaches, to rugged mountains, canyon railways of the interior, dense jungle, fresh water cenotes and Mayan ruins of the Yucatan; all of these combine to create one of Latin America's most fascinating countries.
Close your eyes and think of Mexico and what comes to mind?
Pristine white sandy beaches, lapped by turquoise green waters and fringed by languid palm trees lazily swaying in the warm afternoon breeze? It's what tempts visitors from far and wide, but venture inland and experience a country with a fascinating history, with extraordinary Mayan and Aztec ruins, and where sleepy hillside colonial era towns are brought to life by bustling markets.
At the heart of the country is a buzzing capital city, rich in contemporary art and with a burgeoning street food scene. The resorts of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula are among the best in the world, miles upon miles of unspoilt beaches; beyond the magnificent coastline, lies a remarkable country waiting to be explored.
We invite you to browse our selection of escorted Mexico holidays below. These itineraries aim to showcase the best of the country, based on our first-hand experiences and those of our travellers over time. All can be tweaked to suit your personal interests and aims - please call us to discuss your trip and ask us your questions.

Mirta and Amid, our guides in Mexico, were both amazing!
Everything was excellent. Our guide Jose told us so much about La Paz, Mexico: He was passionate about the place he's living and done his job well. We were lucky to have somebody like him.
Our Group Tour Leader, Carlos, was very informative, always pleasant and helpful. Marita, our guide in Mexico City, was also very good and delightful.
Carlos, our guide, was just terrific, he adapted himself very well to the needs of the random quintet of travellers he found himself leading.
Our guide, Raul Gonzalez, was not only a very good driver-guide and always reliably on time, but also had an amazing knowledge of all places visited and the history of Mexico.
Carlos was an excellent guide - Well suited in interests and age to our group. He showed interest in our comments and enquiries. Very helpful when I had a couple of days illness on the journey.
All the arrangements you made worked perfectly and there was never a moment when we were unsure of what was happening next. All the agents in Mexico, Belize & Guatemala were extremely professional.
Juan Martinez, our guide in Mexico City, was outstanding! Really knowledgeable, friendly and a real character! 10 out of 10 and 100 % reliable.
