Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival Day
Day 2: Holbox Island
After a long flight and a night on the town getting to know your group a bit better, you probably could do with a bit of R&R, and we couldn't think of anywhere better than the Island of Holbox for that. A real piece of paradise, seriously beautiful beaches, no cars, loads of funky beach bars with live music and zero stress or troubles insight. Isla Holbox is home to tropical marine life, so make sure you jump in and explore! Although, if you fancy something a little more chill then how do sea hammocks sound? Dreamy right, we told you it was paradise! If you need us, you'll find us in the hammocks! Just hanging out, ya know (see what we did there). Spend your day relaxing and chillaxing getting ready for the next day as our Yucatan adventure continues tomorrow!
Day 3: 3 Island Boat Trip
Enjoy a lie-in before we jump onto a boat to explore 3 UNREAL locations, just you wait. First up is Bird Island, which is home to many beautiful birds that you will only find here! Next up is ‘'Eye Of The Water'' cenote, a large natural pool with freshwater springs in the middle of mangroves, sounds like something straight out of a movie, but it's real! The bright turquoise pool is located just a few metres away from the sea, so make sure your cameras are all charged as you won't want to miss this very rare sight! Last but definitely not least, we're off to Passion Island which is home to flocks of PINK FLAMINGOS! This is truly an amazing experience, to be able to see these wonderful birds in their natural habitat! And hey, now is a good time for us to remind you to be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons, TruFam! Next, it's time to hop back onto our boat, enjoy a few beers if you fancy it (or drink of choice, you do you boo) and hopefully catch a stunning sunset! And if we're even luckier we might see the bioluminescence in the ocean after dark, some immaculate vibes, let us tell you!
Day 4: Ancient Ruins of Merida
Today is the day! We are off to one of the seven wonders of the world, The Mayan Site of Chichen Itza, a must-see when in Mexico (duh!). We will leave Holbox early to set off to the wondrous monument! Once we arrive, we'll have a guided tour to learn about the fascinating history of the site and of the Mayan civilisation. Trust us, you won't forget this moment! After marvelling at the site and ticking it off our bucket list, one of the seven wonders done, it's time to head to Cenote Yokdzonot. Have a dip in the stunning turquoise water, go on, you know you want to, you are at one of Yucatan's most incredible natural swimming pools after all! Once we've had an afternoon splashing about, floating on our backs and looking up to an unreal view, or just chilling and admiring the cenote, it's, unfortunately, time to leave. Sigh. But fear not, more good times are pending as we head off to Merida and arrive in the early evening. We'll go on an orientation walk around the city to see all the spectacular sights. Welcome to Merida!
Day 5: 3 Cenotes Tour & Tequila Tasting
Today we venture slightly outside of Merida, and we will be cycling between three stunning cenotes, with a spot of lunch along the way of course! After we've spent our day chilling and swimming in the Cenotes, we'll head back to Merida to chill out for a few hours, before it's time to get ready for our evening! Cycling shoes off, dancing shoes ON! Prepare to get those taste buds tingling as we head out to sample some delicious local food, or what we like to call, the ultimate Mexican feast! Tacos & burritos galore! So you are in Mexico (which you already know) but you can't come to Mexico and not go tequila tasting. Which is why our next activity for the evening is just that! Well, it's tequila and mescal tasting to be exact. Tequila is also the national liquor of Mexico! You know what they say when life gives you lemons.. Shot tequila! After we're all tequila'd out, it's time to put our salsa dancing skills to the test at one of the many bars with live music Merida has to offer. Told you we would need our dancing shoes!
Day 6: Bacalar
Rise and shine! This morning we wave goodbye to Merida and set off to Bacalar, arriving in the early afternoon. This afternoon we'll head to Bacalar Lagoon (which has the clearest blue water might we add!). Spend your time here either just chilling and lounging on the sand, taking a kayak/paddleboard out for a little exploring, or just taking a nice refreshing dip. Whatever you fancy! In the evening we'll find a lovely spot by the water to watch the sunset *cue oooh's and aaah's* with a few beers (optional of course). 10/10 end to the day we'd say!
Day 7: 7 Colour Lagoon
We know what your thinking, we must really love lagoons because YES we are off to another one, but this time it's the 7 colour lagoon! And it is totally worth it. Why it is 7 colours or how is it 7 colours you ask? Well, we're no scientist's, but we do know that it's because the clear waters and white sandy bottom of the lagoon cause different shades of turquoise, blue and deep indigo to appear. But we can just pretend it's magic because you've got to see it to believe just how amazing it is. Throughout the day we'll stop at several places along the way to cool off, get those photos for the ‘gram and of course, we can't be going hungry, so we'll stop off for some lunch as well! What an epic week so far!
Day 8: Tulum Beach
Did someone say trendy beachside town? Hell yeah, we did! We are off to Tulum today, where we can spend the afternoon exploring the town and seeing what this funky beachside town has to offer or simply relax on the white sandy beaches. Vamos a La Playa!! Once we've had our beach fix, it's time to head into own for tonight's dinner and drinks with the rest of the TruFam, cheeeers!
Day 9: Tulum Ancient Ruins
Trips departing before November 2025: In the morning, we head to the Tulum archaeological site in the Riviera Maya to explore the ancient Mayan ruins. Sounds like a mesmerising sight to see anyway right? Well, now imagine the brightest of blue ocean and white sandy beach as a backdrop; it's tru-ly one of a kind, so make sure those cameras are all charged up and ready to go! Wait till the ‘gram hears about that *wink wink*. After marvelling at this spectacular view, we head down to the beach to take a refreshing dip and enjoy a cocktail (or two, or three, you decide) at one of the groovy lil' beach lounges.
Trips departing from November 2025: In the morning, we take it easy to recharge energy for an afternoon filled with instagramable moments and cocktails on the beach, now imagine the brightest of blue ocean and white sandy beach as a backdrop, it's tru-ly one of a kind so make sure those cameras are all charged up and ready to go! Wait till the ‘gram hears about that *wink wink*. After recharging batteries, we head down to the beach to take a refreshing dip as it looks extremely inviting and enjoy a cocktail (or two, or three, you decide) at one of the groovy lil' beach lounges. This is the life.
Day 10: Playa Del Carmen
Ok, so we have a thing for stunning lagoons, but we also have a thing for amazing beaches (if you didn't figure that out already) and that's why we are off to Playa Del Carmen, which is a popular resort town by the beach! You can spend your time here doing some shopping for souvenirs or just to treat yourself (you deserve it), or relax on the beach and top up that tan to fulfil that summer glow we all dream about. The choice is yours! All good things must come to an end, which means it's time for our farewell dinner and drinks in this lively, exciting town. Let's make this a night to remember or not to remember depending on how many tequila sunrises you have but we don't judge!
Day 11: Chilled Checkout
Time really does fly when you're having fun. How is it day 11 already? Well, we aren't so sure either, but we know it's been one heck of a trip, with memories and friends made for a lifetime. We're sad to see you go, but that just means you'll have to come back again soon! If your adventure doesn't stop there, our TruNinjas will be happy to help with any onward travel but if it's homebound then don't be a stranger! Stay epic, TruFam, it's been a dream!

Amazing Tour aroung Mexico Yucatan with the best ever Eva as a guide.

The tour was great. It was a perfect mix of activities, sightseeing and time for the group. The schedule and organization went smoothly. Especially the tour guide Evelyn was incredibly great. She was so full of positive energy. Although we had 4 group members who did not want to integrate into the group (2 of them even Tourradar employees), she handled this difficult situation great. I miss her cheerful nature!

I highly recommend this tour and Luis is an amazing tour guide!! Luis always made the effort to include everyone and make sure they felt safe and comfortable. He was positive every single minute of the day keeping an upbeat vibe all day. You can tell he loves what he does. Overall the tour was something beautiful I will never forget and definitely something I would love to do again.

I have just completed the 11 day Yucatán tour with TruTravels, during which I met a great group of people and had the pleasure of having Eve as our ninja. The trip was planned very well, ensuring we had an equal balance of exciting adventurous activities planned and enough time to relax and unwind. At no point did I feel that any of the activities were rushed or dragged on for too long. A particular highlight for me was the lagoon boat trip in Bacalar; the experience was incredible and truly one that I will cherish forever. Well, what can I say - Eve was a fantastic tour leader from beginning to end! Before the trip, she did a brilliant job of informing the group of key information as well as providing tips that would help us on our trip. For those of us, who were new to travelling and/or were solo, she is put us at ease and made sure that we were included at all times. All of us in the group asked copious amounts of questions daily, which she answered in depth and without hesitation, no matter how silly or unimportant it may have seemed. She laughed with us, encouraged us to party, took us to CocoBongo and made it a truly special trip. Additionally, her broad knowledge about the destinations, tequila & mescal and the denotes (which we all loved) was brilliant and it was clear that she really knows her stuff. She could not have done more for us! Also, one of our drivers Pepe, was amazing too. He joined in with the jokes and made the journeys super enjoyable, despite some being a little lengthy. Thank you for such an outstanding trip and for helping us all to create such treasured memories!!!

An Incredible Trip Thanks to Our Ninja Guide, Luis Mirazo Our recent trip to Mexico was beyond anything we could have imagined, and a huge part of that was thanks to Luis Mirazo, our guide. From the get-go, Luis brought energy and enthusiasm that set the tone for the entire journey. He wasn’t just a guide; he was like a friend showing us the best of his country. Luis took us to places we never would have found on our own and shared insights that only someone deeply connected to the culture could provide. He has a real knack for making you feel like you’re part of something special. Whether we were exploring vibrant markets, tasting incredible local food, or visiting stunning historic sites, Luis made every moment feel unique and personal. What really stood out was how Luis embodied the true Mexican spirit. He has this amazing way of sharing his love for Mexico that’s totally infectious. We didn’t just see the sights; we experienced the heart and soul of the country, thanks to him. If you’re planning a trip to Mexico and want to truly experience the best of what the country has to offer, do yourself a favor and ask for Luis Mirazo. He made our trip unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

The Mexico tour was amazing! And Luis the main man tour guide definitely upped the experience too a 1000% He knew where/what to eat/drink (don't think I actually had to look at a food manu the entire time), the history and where the party was at! Couldn't recommend the tour enough!!

This was one of the best trips of my life! We did the Mexico yucatan experience in April. Eve was our tour guide and we really couldn’t have asked for a better person! It was my birthday on the trip and i never mentioned it but she made sure it was celebrated and I felt very special on my birthday - thank you Evelyn. She was very knowledgable (around food, culture, history the list could go on) and made sure we had fun! ?? every single accommodation was lovely, stylish and comfy able. We went places I wouldn’t have thought have going alone. My fave places were isla holbox and bacalar. I’m 100% going to be booking my next trip with Tru travels soon :) the organisation of the trip was second to none- loved it :)

Great experience! A lot of cool activities and it is so great to not need to plan anything and stay with great people all the time.

Awesome trip, great way to see so much of Mexico in a short space of time. Top moments were the beach at Holbox, swimming in the 7 colours lagoon, experiencing the cenotes, all the guacamole, delicious breakfast recommendations, seeing Xichen Itsa and biking in Tulum. Our guide was Eve and she was THE BEST. We have done a bunch of other trips and she was by far the most personable, creative, fun, lovely person with a lot of experience and wonderful ability to share her knowledge with us. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to party and catch a lot of culture all in one trip. I loved that the group was only 10 people, gave us a chance to meet everyone and there wasn’t a divide in the group nor too many people.

Luis was amazing nothing was too much trouble and we all appreciated his help and local knowledge in Mexico!

Luis was an amazing guide, he had so much knowledge about everything we did and saw. I didn’t know we could fit so much into an 11 day tour! It has exceeded my expectations and I would do it all again. Luis made sure to accommodate everybody and gave us freedom as well if we wanted to make small changes. He was a friend to us as well as a guide. I would 100% do a tour again and will never forget it

Luis was so passionate, welcoming and knowledgeable whilst going above and beyond to make this the best experience for us! Luis also made sure to tell me what did and didn’t have gluten in every single place we all ate together which I was so grateful for.
12/05/2023
My Mexico experience with TruTravels was unforgettable had the best time went to amazing places and had a lovely group. Luis absolutely smashed it had so much knowledge on Mexico to share and got us in to the culture, was lovely throughout the trip and was always there for everyone if they needed something and was great fun during activities and nights out. Also takes great insta pics! Would happily have luis as my guide again.

Luis Mirazo was an exceptional tour guide throughout the Yucatan experience tour. He was incredibly supportive, outgoing, hard working, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time ever during this tour. I would recommend him to every tour group who travels to Mexico.
12/05/2023
This was my first time travelling with a group of strangers to a whole new country, I’m soo glad I picked Trutravels! 11 strangers and 1 tour guide has now become my friends forever. I 100% recommend this tour. It has great itinerary and accommodations. Our tour guide, Luis went above and beyond!! His energy was infectious! Would love to travel with him again!
