Q: Are drinks included? Liquor?
A: Liquor is included with some meals. Soft drinks, coffee or tea are always provided.
Q: What should I pack?
A: Pack light with casual, comfortable, layered clothing. Comfortable walking shoes are a must. We travel through different climatic regions, sea level to high mountain elevation. A light jacket is always recommended. One bag per person is acceptable on our tours. Carry-on storage on board is smaller than the typical airline space.
Q: What are the hotels like?
A: Our hotels are the best available in the region, deluxe to tourist class. Mountain lodges are in line with the theme of the tour and provide individual cabins and facilities.
Q: Do I need a passport?
A: It is our policy that all travelers must carry proof of US Citizenship in the form of a passport. (Drivers license or voter registration are not a proof of citizenship.) Minors require a notarized proof of parental consent for entry into Mexico. Alien residents and foreign visitors require a passport and possibly a Mexican Visa (consult a Mexican Consulate office).
Q: Health and Safety?
A: Violence is not a way of life in Mexico. As with any travel, common sense should prevail. This means not flashing wealth, avoiding being arrogant, abusive or demanding, and observing casual prudence. Undeniably, you'll encounter poverty, for some tours are in developing areas. Small medical clinics and hospitals are always within a short distance. Your tour director will know where to seek assistance if it is needed. Sun tan lotion is highly recommended. Insects and other pests are usually not a common concern.
Q: Do we need insurance?
A: We include travel insurance which covers travel and health realted issues, pre trip cancellation coverage is available upon request.
Q: How much money should I bring?
A: Your tour price includes nearly all features. You only need money for souvenirs, personal items and additional incidental tipping. Credit cards are accepted in hotels but not normally by local vendors. U.S. Dollars are welcome but preferably in small denominations. We will stop at the border where you can buy a small amount of foreign currency for incidental purchases from street vendors. Traveler's Checks and bills in large denominations are not readily accepted in remote areas.
Q: What about traveling in a motorcoach?
A: We only have deluxe US motorcoaches which are equipped with bathroom facilities, comfortable reclining seats well spaced for leg comfort, and video monitors. Daily traveling time varies. We provide frequent stops for a leg stretch and smoking breaks. Bottled water is always available on the motorcoach.
Q: Handicap accomodations?
A: Mexico is just beginning to accommodate handicapped individuals and American A.D.A. provisions are not applicable. Some places have ramps but no rooms adapted for wheelchairs. You must have self mobility knowing the circumstances of the different lodging. Some walking is necessary for your full enjoyment of the tour sightseeing and some step climbing. There is no problem with personal medication but always bring along your doctor's prescription
