There’s nothing like Mexico road trips to find the perfect balance between sightseeing, excursions to national parks and relaxation by the sea. Mexico has much to offer with its beautiful beaches on the Atlantic and the Pacific, its extraordinary dive sites like Playa del Carmen, prestigious cities - including Mexico City, Merida and Oaxaca - and archaeological sites testifying to the wealth of the Mayan civilization. A self drive in Mexico can be organised throughout the year so pack your bags and enjoy complete freedom as you hit the road each day to discover something new around each corner.

"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."
