Visa requirements often change, and it is always worth checking your local government website for the most up-to-date information.    

We always recommend speaking to your local doctors. We're not medically trained, so we cannot give official advice on the vaccines you need/don't need.

Mexico has a tropical climate and the temperature sits at around 20 to 33°C throughout the year. The wet season runs from June to November and the dry season tends to fall between December and May.

December to April is a great time visit Mexico! This is during the dry season and you are most likely to get blue skies and temperatures of around 24°C.

We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars when you have had great service. This isn't essential but it is a nice gesture. Your guide will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are exploring the country.

ATMs are usually easy to find in cities and towns across Mexico. We would recommend bringing cash with you incase you cannot access an ATM in more rural areas. We'd recommend getting a travel card before you leave for your trip (Monzo and Revolut are great options.) Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.

Tap water is not always safe to drink in Mexico so we'd recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water.

Yes! Mexico has made alot of progress in terms of safety, however, it is important to be aware of petty crimes and tourist scams in the cities. Your Tru Leader will be on hand for any questions you might have on safety whilst in Mexico!
