Hotels

Not all hotels on this tour will have air-conditioning.

Please also note that not all hotels provide a kettle. If you require warm milk for a baby, we advise you to carry your own bottle warmer and milk. Passengers may also want to take a small travel iron and hairdryer, as many hotel rooms may not have these facilities.

If you use services such as the phone or minibar or pay TV whilst in your room, you will have to pay the hotel directly when you check out; these services are not included in your tour cost.

The maximum occupancy per room on this tour is three person(s).

Other Advisories

General

It's advisable to drink bottled or purified water, as tap water may not always be safe. 

Consider getting comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and theft.

Many nationalities, including residents of the UK, USA, and EU, do not require a visa for stays up to 180 days. Others may need a visa; check specific requirements. Upon arrival, travelers must fill out a tourist card (FMM). This is usually given on flights or at the border and must be kept for departure. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay.

ATMs are widely available in cities, and most accept international cards. Exchange rates at airports may not be favorable; consider exchanging money beforehand or in city banks. Credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas, but it's a good idea to carry cash for small purchases and local markets.

While most visits to Mexico are trouble-free, some areas have higher crime rates, particularly related to drug cartels. Stick to tourist areas and avoid traveling at night in unfamiliar places.

High Altitude

You should only make trips to high altitudes if you feel healthy. The following recommendations apply:

Advanced age is no barrier to high altitude. The altitude is not a concern for blood pressure patients who are well-controlled with medication. Asthmatics can travel to high altitudes without any problems. High-altitude air is less polluted with particles that can cause an asthma attack. People with epilepsy who are well controlled with medication should be able to negotiate the altitude.

Pregnant women: There may be a particular risk for pregnancy even without pre-existing diseases over 2500-3000 metres. Caution is therefore advised if in doubt; please consult your doctor in advance.

Infants: Short-term stays at the mountain tops are unproblematic. Infants and young children often cannot equalise pressure during descent and are increasingly at risk of ear irritation. Regular swallowing (drinking, sucking on a bottle) during the descent can prevent aggravation. Because children can chill faster than adults, always pay attention to sufficient protection from the cold at high altitudes. Sunglasses and good sunscreen are necessary on the glaciers!

High altitude visits are not recommended for:

Lung and heart patients who are already short of breath while at rest or climbing stairs are advised not to stay at high altitudes. Patients with angina pectoris or severely impaired performance with heart enlargement and heart failure should not visit high altitudes. Those with medical therapy, coronary artery disease (angina pectoris) and heart enlargement should not visit high altitudes. Patients with a pronounced risk profile for cardiovascular disease (smoker + high blood pressure + diabetes + high blood fats + overweight + occasional chest pain) should consult the doctor before visiting high altitude. Do not stay at high altitude after having striated muscles or a stroke.

Pick up and Drop off points & Times

Passengers should arrive at their pick-up point no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

Weather

Mexico City and Cancún offer very different climates, so it's important to prepare accordingly if visiting both locations.

Mexico City

Mexico City has a mild climate due to its high altitude. The city experiences a temperate climate year-round, with cooler mornings and evenings. The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April, when temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 12°C to 24°C (54°F to 75°F). However, nights can be chilly, so bringing a jacket or sweater is recommended.

During the rainy season from May to October, Mexico City experiences frequent afternoon showers. Even though rain is common, daytime temperatures remain mild, averaging around 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F). Visitors should bring an umbrella and waterproof shoes during this season.

Cancún

Cancún, on the other hand, has a tropical climate, meaning it is hot and humid year-round, with a distinct dry and rainy season. The best time to visit Cancún is during the dry season from November to April, when temperatures range between 25°C and 30°C (77°F to 86°F), and the humidity is lower, making it ideal for beach activities.

Cancún experiences its rainy season from May to October, with short but heavy afternoon showers and high humidity. Temperatures during this time can exceed 30°C (86°F), and the region is more susceptible to hurricanes, especially between August and October. If visiting during the summer, sunscreen, light clothing, and plenty of water are essential to stay cool and protected from the sun.

Wheelchairs & Child Seats

We will accept lightweight manual wheelchairs for travel, subject to them being capable of being stowed in the luggage hold of the coach. It is also essential that a family member is also on tour to push their wheelchair. Star Tours will also request hotels for suitably equipped rooms; however, this is only on a request basis and cannot be guaranteed.

Child seats are mandatory for children under the age of 12 or who are shorter than 150 cm. Children under 7 years old or less than 125 cm tall must use a child seat with a harness or a restraint system. Children between 7 and 12 years old or between 125 and 150 cm tall must use a booster seat or a seat cushion. It is the responsibility of the child's parent or guardian to provide the appropriate child seat for their child.
