The 15 days Premium Mexico covers a lot of Mexico with great inclusions, good itinerary, great food etc. If you really want to explore Mexico in depth and meeting locals etc and stay in comfort hotels then this is a good option.

Overal a great trip, but beware of the buses used in mexico, many had extensive seat belt safety issues. Argue for replacements or solutions as the roads can be quite hazardous.

Excellent itinerary, included activities, and group leaders on our combo trip to Mexico. We felt like we had a very good introduction to the history and culture of Mexico and we had a great group to travel with. Accommodations were very inconsistent with lots of changes and some excellent and some not so great stays.

Itinerary was good for second leg of the trip (Yucatan Peninsula), where we saw beautiful sites and enjoyed magical activities. But, overall, the trip was disappointing. It doesn't feel "premium" - particularly some of the activities in the first half, much of the accommodation, and many of the included meals.

While the guides were knowledgeable and tried hard to make the trip run smoothly, the standard of hotels were extremely poor. All the more so because this was a "premium" offering. Blocked toilets, no hot water and small dingy rooms in some hotels did NOT add up to a premium experience.
