Overview & Highlights
This luxurious and very good value holiday visits Mexico’s historic highlights and Caribbean beaches from sumptuous, unique and original accommodation, where we have negotiated extremely competitive prices.
On this luxurious private holiday you’ll be based in a few of Mexico’s most prestigious properties, including restored colonial haciendas. You’ll explore the capital and the archaeological sites of the Yucatán peninsula in the south.
Mexico is one of Latin America’s most vibrant and entertaining destinations, with a huge diversity of historical, cultural and natural attractions. On private guided excursions, you’ll discover the superb museums and teeming plazas of the megalopolis that is Mexico City, where the Aztec and Spanish heritages sit side by side. Moving south, explore the evocative ancient monuments, testament to bygone Maya empires, which lay hidden and silent for centuries amid the deep valleys and jungles of the south. Round off your holiday by pampering yourself at one of one of the country’s most prestigious, discreet and top-quality hotels on the white sand beaches of the Mayan Riviera.

What our clients say
97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.
Overall, the holiday was excellent. As a single traveller, it was great that the group - a mixture of couples, pairs and singles got on very well together, which added to the enjoyment. The specialist guides were very good especially our guide at Cusco, Machu Picchu and Pisac.
