Tipping

Explore leader

Tipping isn't compulsory, and we work hard to ensure that our leaders all receive a fair wage. However, you might want to recognise a leader that's done a great job or really added to your trip by giving them a tip. We're often asked about the recommended amount. It's a tricky one, and down to personal preference, but we'd recommend between £15 to £20 per person per week as a guideline

Local crew

Although entirely voluntary, tipping is a recognized part of life in this region of the world. Some local staff will look to members of the group for personal recognition of particular services provided. In order to make things easier for you, your leader may organise a group's tips kitty for included activities and meals and if this is the case, they will account for it throughout the tour.

Accordingly, you should allow US$ 60, approx. 1'150 pesos for group tipping

For all non-included services and meals on your trip please tip independently at your discretion.

International Departure Taxes

Mexico: there is a 580 Pesos (approx. US$35) departure tax payable pre entry to Guatemala.
Guatemala: there is an entry tax of US$2 / exit tax US$2

Transport, Accommodation & Meals: Transport Information

Bus, Boat

Accommodation notes

During this trip we use a series of comfortable hotels, perfect for exploring Mexico's natural and archeological treasures.

We have one night at simple accommodation near Frontera Corozal. This lodge is in a jungle setting, amenities are basic but perfectly adequate for one night, particularly as a way to experience the forest. Cabins have ensuite bathrooms, mosquito nets, fans, and the hotel overlooks the river, giving us good access to the boats that take us to the Yaxchilan ruins. Howler monkeys reside in the forest and often may be heard waking up at dawn.

On our premium accommodation departure, we switch out our simple and many of the comfortable hotels for premium-graded properties, including the Hotel Historico Central in Mexico City. This historic colonial building dates back to the 1700's, benefitting from wonderful architecture but modern amenities, and is a stone's throw away from the city's main landmarks.

There are no breakfasts included on this tour. Breakfasts are available at some of the hotels, but are a la carte and therefore we want to give you the option to choose what you like. In other locations, you'll be eating en route, or the Tour Leader will suggest local bakeries and cafes to pick something up before the day begins.

Additional Information: Extend your trip into the Yucatan Peninsula

Extend your trip
Why not extend your trip with four nights on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, including a visit to the famous Maya site of Chichen Itza. Click here for more details.

Day of the Dead Departures
We have timed certain departures to coincide with the Day of the Dead Festival, experiencing the celebrations from Oaxaca.

The origins of the Day of the Dead Festival can be traced back as far as the indigenous people of Mesoamerica. The Zapotecs, Mayans and Aztecs all had ancient rituals for celebrating the deaths of ancestors. The modern day festivities take place between the 31st October and 2nd November each year, when it is believed to be easier for the souls of the departed to visit the living. Relatives tend to gather in cemeteries where they build private shrines and altars and bring along food, toys and other sentimental items. One of the most common symbols of the Day of the Dead is the skull which many people wear as masks during parades and festivities. The ceremonies are a fascinating insight into local culture and beliefs.

Oaxaca is one of the best places to witness the Day of Dead as the streets become alive with parades and markets selling flowers and local delicacies fill the air with colour and perfume. Many of the festivities take place at night in the local cemeteries and there is a carnival-like atmosphere that brings the streets of Oaxaca to life. Depending on your departure date, you will be in Oaxaca on one or two of the nights of the 31st, 1st and 2nd, and you will experience the different festivities taking place on those days.
