MexECO Tours

Hi everyone,

Just to remind you with the winter season almost upon us that MexECO Tours are offering guided tours to Mexico's natural, historical and cultural sites of interest. We have been in operation for over 11 years in the Melaque area and 3 in the Bucerias and PV area.

All our trips are guided by local licensed federal guides who are bilingual, and you are also accompanied on each tour by one of our bilingual tour leaders.

We depart from the Melaque and PV areas but can also arrange pick up and transport from anywhere around the lake and nearby. If our dates don't fit in with your schedule then contact us and we can work out dates that do!

Regards,

Dan & Ruth

Could you give a little more detail about where and when you go?

For each trip we have detailed itineraries available plus photo galleries of the tour taken by us over the years. You can see them on the tour page and then select the tour you wish to look at: Tours Page

Thank you for posting this, the tours look good. What if a client lived here and flew to DF for the DF tour from Guadalajara instead of from Manz/PV?

This would depend on the flights we take to Mexico City. Over the last few years we have actually flown from Guadalajara due to the costs. In any case if you were to join us on the tour from your area we would arrange the flights from GDL to Mexico City for you.

We would have our guide or a tour leader waiting to meet you upon arrival and take you to the hotel where you would join the main group for the tour. Then at the end of the trip we would accompany you to the airport for the return trip to GDL.

Do you have a "menu" of tours and prices?

They have a website and email with links in the lower left side of each posting.

Thanks Lunateak, we do indeed on the website have a full price list and menu. I would add it here but it is a lot of formatting!

Here is a link to the tours page : http://www.mex-ecotours.com/tours

This is split into 2 sections - Melaque / Manzanillo and Bucerias / Puerto Vallarta. However each tour links to the same page regardless of the area you select and for anyone joining us from the GDL / Chapala area we would communicate and arrange transportation and payment details directly with you.

As a note our Cuba tour is full at the moment as are 2 of the Copper Canyon Trips. We will always consider adding new dates if someone wants to. Plus if you bring together a group of at least 20 people then we will set the date you want to go on and there is a discount for the person who brings us the group.
