Mexico Trips & Tours

While tap water in Mexico can vary based on where you visit, we generally recommend that travellers stick to drinking filtered or bottled water. If you are unsure, you can always check with your trip leader or accommodation provider.

Spanish is the most spoken language in Mexico, alongside 63 Indigenous languages. Some English is also common inside Mexico’s most popular areas for tourism.

The legal drinking age in Mexico is 18.

At Gap 360, our biggest priority is ensuring that travellers feel safe and supported on their adventures abroad. Before your departure on our Mexico group tours, you will have access to our health and safety information with advice for your travels and country fact-files for Mexico. You’ll also have access to a 24/7 emergency support number, operated by our UK-based team, to assist you while you're travelling. We always encourage travellers to do their own research before visiting a destination, or if you have any questions, we are just a message or phone call away.

Gap 360 has partnered with Masta and Nomad Clinics, one of the UK’s largest networks of private travel clinics. Through Masta, you can arrange a Travel Telephone Consultation, an in-person Consultation, and book your vaccinations at your nearest clinic.

British nationals can visit Mexico without a visa as a tourist for up to 180 days. We encourage travellers to always stay up-to-date on FCDO advice before travelling. This also includes checking the entry requirements for any countries you may travel to as part of your journey.

Flights to Mexico from the UK generally take 11 to 13 hours, and it is possible to find direct flights from London to Cancún or Mexico City. There are also flight options that include one or two layovers if you are on a budget. If you would like assistance in choosing the best flights that suit your preferences, our flights partner, Flights 360, are the best people to ask.
