The Best Trips And Tours In Mexico

Everyone has their own image of Mexico, such is the vastness of this country’s reach. For some it’s a coastal oasis, where golden beaches kiss Caribbean waters. For others, it’s a place with a vibrating cultural heartbeat, beaming with colour. Then there’s the bounties that await for history buffs or foodies, or art fans, or just about anyone else. Whatever your Mexico, discover it with authenticity on an immersive Culture Trip.

Authentic Central Mexico

If you want to hone in on something more specific, then how about this deep-dive into the cultural heartlands of Mexico? This eight-day adventure aims to take you on a journey through the nation’s past and present, visiting a series of picturesque cities in Central Mexico to explore key historical moments, understand the cornerstones of Mexican culture and, of course, get a taste for authentic local cuisine. We start in Mexico City with a fairly similar three-day itinerary, which includes the charming cobblestone streets of Coyoacan and the pulsating Mercado San Juan. You’ll dive into ancient Mexico with a visit to the Toltec capital of Tula, as well as Teotihuacán, en route to the gorgeous city of Querétaro, where Mexico’s current constitution was passed. In nearby San Miguel de Allende you’ll take an expert cooking class, learn about the thriving local art scene and have the opportunity to buy some goodies from the local artisan market. Guanajuato, with its pretty facades and old town houses, is our final stop, but there are a couple of detours on the way. First is Dolores Hidalgo, the cradle of Mexican independence, where you’ll learn about the Cry of Dolores at the Museo de la Independencia Nacional. The second is Cuna de Tierra winery, where you’ll be treated to a sumptuous wine tasting session – the perfect place to reflect on your newfound understanding of Mexico as a place and as a people.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
