“The Magical Mexico tour by Indus Travels was the perfect 13-day girls’ getaway my best friend and I had been dreaming of as 50-year-old women who wanted adventure, culture, and plenty of laughter without a single planning headache! From the moment we landed in Mexico City, everything felt effortless—the seamless airport transfer to our lovely twin room at the superior Casa Blanca hotel set the relaxed tone, and our English-speaking guide made us feel completely safe and pampered as we explored the bustling Zócalo, the awe-inspiring Teotihuacan Pyramids (Sun and Moon temples were breathtaking), a peaceful boat ride through the floating gardens of Xochimilco, and the colorful Roma and Condesa neighborhoods. Then came Oaxaca’s magic: wandering the ancient hilltop ruins of Monte Albán and Mitla, visiting artisan villages to watch alebrijes being carved and black-clay pottery shaped, a stunning stop at the mineral falls of Hierve el Agua, and a fun mezcal tasting that had us giggling like schoolgirls. Mérida delivered more wow moments with the Uxmal ruins, a refreshing swim in the turquoise cenote of Santa Bárbara, the iconic Chichén Itzá (we timed it perfectly to avoid the heat), and the charming colonial streets of Valladolid. The Riviera Maya finale in Cancun was pure bliss—lazy beach days and Caribbean sunsets at our Krystal hotel were the ideal way to unwind and reminisce. Indus Travels truly thought of everything: comfortable twin rooms every night (no single supplement stress for us!), daily buffet breakfasts plus a special lunch, all domestic flights, deluxe AC transport, knowledgeable guides who shared fascinating stories at our pace, and every entrance fee included. At our age, the gentle rhythm, warm hospitality, and perfect mix of exploration and downtime made this trip feel empowering, rejuvenating, and incredibly bonding—we came home with memories (and a few extra mezcal bottles!) we’ll cherish forever.”

“I chose this tour because I liked the itinerary and I was not disappointed, although it was a bit ambitious and parts could not be completed because of local conditions. It should be noted that this is more of an adventure tour since in many places in Mexico suitable roadside facilities are not available, particularly the stretch between Oaxaca and San Cris (there is an option to fly this portion of the tour and in hindsight I should have taken it). Also, it should be noted that Indus is not the tour operator and neither is its agent in Mexico, SAT. Instead use is made of local operators. The operator between Mexico City and Cacun was excellent, but the operators in Mexico City and Cancun left something to be desired and cost my rating for this tour a star each. In Mexico City a demonstration caused us to miss the Anthropological Museum, and while this is obviously beyond the control of the local operator we were disappointed that it did not possess the imagination to substitute an alternative attraction or even offer to refund the cost of the museum tickets. In Cancun, we were forced to pay local taxes even though these were included in the cost of the tour. I'm not sure whom to blame here but the hotel desk at the Canopy by Hilton was in complete chaos. Nevertheless, we have yet to be refunded these taxes. In summary, an excellent way to experience some of the highlights of Eastern Mexico, but be prepared for some bumps along the way.”
