"This was the perfect itinerary for us, with a fantastic mix of free time, independent exploring and guided tours. We learnt so much from our guide on the ground - she was so knowledgeable and passionate that we couldn't help but be fascinated. Ultimately, the whole process was really easy, and Oliver took on board everything we asked for."

The obvious starting point for an educational trip is Mexico City. The ancient capital of the Aztec Empire, Mexico's capital city offers the perfect blend of cosmopolitan culture and ancient Mayan and Aztec history. There are a whopping 150 museums to explore - chief among them the National Museum of Anthropology & Archaeology, housing priceless artefacts from Mexico's early civilizations - as well as sprawling temples and a thriving foodie scene.

Beyond Mexico City, the Yucatan Peninsula is sure to go down a treat with idyllic white sand beaches to relax on, brilliant blue waters to splash around in and more magnificent ruins to explore (including the huge pyramids of Chichen Itza) with expert guides leading the way. Top off your trip with some excellent hotels and the insider knowledge of our Concierges and your Mexico educational holiday is bound to be a success.
