Itinerary
Day 1
HOLA MEXICO CITY!
Welcome to frenetic Mexico City and get ready to soak up that red-hot latin vibe. Arrive morning or early-afternoon (we can help recommend flights) and we’ll be at the airport ready to take you back to your hotel. Unpack, relax, settle-in and the hotel is well located for you to go for a sneak peak of this buzzing mega city. In the evening we’ll meet at 7pm for a welcome introduction and then enjoy dinner together at one of the city’s best restaurants.
Day 2
TACOS, HISTORY + WRESTLING
Today we’ll take a behind the scenes wander through the ‘Centro Histrico’ district. You’ll learn about the city’s fascinating history – from the Aztecs, to Spanish colonisation, through to modern day – and get an inside perspective on like for the locals. In the afternoon we’ll cross the city for a food and walking tour in the beautiful Roma and Condesa areas. You’ll taste a variety of authentic Mexican cuisine at 6 different restaurants, learning the backstory of each. We’ll then finish off with a lively night at the city’s must-experience local sport – Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling).
Day 3
XOCHIMILCO + FRIDA KAHLO
This morning we’ll visit the inspiring Frida Kahlo museum (Casa Azul) and afterwards wander the nearby bohemian neighbourhood of Coyoacán. In the afternoon we’ll then head south of the city to visit the enchanting canals of Xochimilco. Here we’ll hop on a trajinera boat and cruise along enjoying the lively atmosphere of passing food vendors, artisans and mariachi bands. It’s the perfect time to enjoy a cerveza or michelada. We’ll finish off the day with a group dinner in one of our favourite spots.
Day 4
ADIOS! (OR, OPTIONAL STUFF)
Our short break has now come to an end. However, if your flight is in the evening – or you would like to spend an extra day – there are so many amazing things to do in and around the city. There’s the impressive Chapultepec Forest (double the size of New York’s Central Park). Or, just one hour outside of the city, are the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan. You could explore these on foot or even take a hot air balloon ride above (highly recommend). Further afield you could visit the nearby cities of Puebla and Cholula, or go hike the spectacular Nevado de Toluca volcano. Get in touch to discuss options.

And equally, for us, it’s super important that we get the right people joining our trips (people who are likely to get the most out of it).
We’d therefore appreciate if you could please read the following page carefully before signing up: OWR Trip Style
How does it all work?
For an overview of how it all works, you can go to this page here: How It Works
Are international flights included?
No.
International flights are not included in the price of our tours. This is something you would book yourself separately.
Which airports should I fly into?
Our trip starts and ends in Mexico City (MEX). You should organise your flights accordingly.
Ideally you should arrive at the hotel by 6pm on the first day. This is when we have our welcome meeting and afterwards go for dinner (although if you arrive later it’s fine to catch up).
You can leave at any time on the last day. There are no activities scheduled for that day.
If you need help researching flights, contact us at [email protected] or fill out the contact form on this page.
Are airport transfers included?
Yes, they are included at both the start and end of every trip.
Notes
- We only do transfers between airports and our selected hotels. No other locations.
- For those tagging on extra days, we will endeavour to include transfers up to 2 days outside of official tour dates.
Can I book a private room?
Yes.
Our standard prices are based on sharing a twin hotel room with one other person of the same gender.
However, if you prefer a private then you can select this option for £225 / $305 extra.
Just let us know at the time of booking.
(Note – we have limited availability of private rooms, these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis).
Can I book pre and/or post accommodation?
Yes, we can book you in for extra days at either our arrival hotel or departure hotel.
This is up to a maximum of 2 days on either side. If for longer, we suggest you book directly with the hotel.
As you book your trip spot through our website, during the checkout process you will be given the option to “add-on” the pre or post accommodation. You can also do this at a later point through our guest portal (you will have access to this after booking).
I’m traveling solo, will I be the only one?
No.
Our trips are specifically designed for solo travelers so you will fit in perfectly.
Some people may bring a friend but the majority will always be traveling solo.
How do I book?
On this page you will see a “Book Now” button next to each trip departure date. Simply click this to start the checkout process and reserve your spot.
You will need to pay a £200 / $250 deposit upfront and then the remaining balance must be paid by 70 days before the trip.
If your booking is within 70 days, then you must pay the full balance at that point.
What happens after I book? (next steps)
This is what you should expect in the lead up to your trip.
- Book trip (secure your spot with a deposit)

Is the deposit refundable?
No, the deposit is non-refundable.
However, if you can no longer make the trip you can transfer that deposit onto any other future trip.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes.
We can either split your balance into even monthly payments, or we can set it up so you can pay any smaller amounts as and when you like.
You can go ahead and book your spot through our website as normal and then afterwards email us at [email protected] to request we set up your payment plan.
Visas, vaccinations & packing lists?
Two months before your trip you will receive a comprehensive pre-trip pack which tells you everything you need to get prepared for the trip (including info on visas, vaccinations & packing lists).
In general, most of our guests don’t need visas to come to Mexico.
Do you cater for special dietary requirements?
Yes.
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and other dietary requirements. We will always make sure there are options available to you in the restaurants we visit.
Please be aware though that there will not likely be the same range of options as you have available in your home country.
Will I get to meet other members of the group before the trip?
Yes.
3 days before the trip we will create a WhatsApp group with all the people joining the trip. This is a great opportunity to connect ahead of the trip.
Are the hotels listed on the website the actual hotels you use?
Generally yes, it will be these hotels.
From time to time we may need to change a specific hotel if for example it’s not available on those given dates. But in such situations, we will always replace with another hotel at the same quality and notify you in advance.
What’s the cancellation policy?
The £200/$250 deposit is non-refundable. However, if you need to cancel at any point, you can put this towards any future trip you book with us (in any location).
The rest of the balance is refundable up until 70 days before the trip. From that point we have to start committing funds to local suppliers and so:-
> 30-70 days before trip – 50% refund
> 0–30 days before trip – 0% refund
But, we also recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover you for any unexpected last-minute cancellation.
