tour Nov 7 - Nov 18 disappeared from tourradar website, full already? Any chance of upgrading to 4 star twin bed hotels? please quote
At the moment, the departure starting on November 7th is no longer available. However, we would be delighted to offer you the next available option, departing on November 9th. This is a great alternative, and we warmly invite you to select this date so you don't miss out on the experience. Regarding your question about upgrading, yes—absolutely! You can select the Superior category, which includes stays in carefully selected 4-star hotels. We highly recommend this option for an enhanced level of comfort throughout your journey. For the room configuration, please note that double rooms do not guarantee twin beds, as bedding type is subject to each hotel's availability at the time of check-in. That said, we will of course place a special request with the hotels to consider your preference for twin beds, and they will do their best to accommodate it.
We would like to know whether the cancellation policy would change when caused by illness and we would be able to provide a doctor sick note.
Our cancellation policies are consistent across all situations, except in the unfortunate event of death.
if Museum and restaurant is closed on Monday do you switch day 2 and 3 itineraries around or do we just miss out?
Activities are organized according to operating days, so none of the activities offered will be missed. In exceptional cases due to temporary closures beyond our control, activities will be replaced by others.
Would like to book additional 2 days for the trip. Please let us know if this can be accommodated.
We can add pre-accommodation in Mexico City and post-accommodation in the city of Mérida. The supplement will be in accordance with the category you reserve.
we are wondering whether you have trips starting on the 16 December 2025 and after
The only available departure we have after December 13 is January 5. Plane tickets are arranged by you directly, as we do not sell plane tickets; we only offer accommodations and activities during the tour.
Can you tell approximately how much the two domestic flights cost? And does your tour company book them for us, or do we need to book them ourselves?
Flights must be booked independently; we don't have the tools to do it for you.
I am planning to book tours. My questions are about tour end time and airport pickup.
Would you be so kind to give us the names of the tours you would like to take?
Is departure date local time?
Yes, all times listed in the itinerary are local time.
How much is the price for a superior room for two people?
Please provide the desired travel dates, and we can calculate the cost in your preferred currency for the stay.
