DEPARTURE TIME Default departure times (which can be seen when choosing a tour date) can be also adjusted upon your request. We can start the tour almost any time (when the main attractions of the tour are open) but due to traffic conditions in Mexico City, earlier departures are always preferred. Our guide will meet/pick you up at the agreed time and location and might need to contact you by phone, so please kindly provide a valid phone number during your booking.

At the same time, the tour is customizable which means the time you spend in each destination can be adjusted to your needs.

If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in.
