This trip involves some long days of travel by private and local transport, including one overnight bus. While this can be tiring, it's also a fantastic way to rub shoulders with the locals and get under the skin of a place.
Mexico's climate is sultry and tropical, so can get really hot and humid. Wear loose clothing and make sure stay hydrated, especially while out on walking tours.

Excellent intro to Mexico with great itinerary, comfortable accommodation and lots of time for optional activities (do as many as you can!). Victor (tour leader) was extremely approachable, knowledgeable and organized and helped us make some great memories on our trip.
