"Dear Cathy & Lucy,
Here we are back from Florida after a wonderful trip to Mexico. We loved it. The Haciendas were (each one) so different- We loved each one in its own way. The people everywhere were so lovely, happy and smiling."

My journey began many years ago as a struggling single mother applying for the
During 3 years, I did my best to help him, dashing backwards and forwards between Piccadilly, London, home to collect my daughter from school, and very often back to the office. When he became sick, the Barbachano's took him to Mexico. I was left to the decision to continue or not to continue. At the time, that decison had nothing to do with ambition or great financial gain. It was purely based on the need to work and earn a living, but at that moment, the seed of my love for Mexico had already been planted.
" There is no substitute for the confidence and trust that comes from a passion.....and Mexico is my passion...." | ||||||||||||||||
This famous Barbachano dynasty was the founder of travel to the Mayan archaeological sites of the Yucatan. I came to learn so many wonderful things about how the sites were gradually excavated, and how grandfather Barbachano literally went down to the docks persuading people to visit his "famous places"! All this was back in the 1930s!! Those "places" were Chichen Itza, Labna, Uxmal, Coba, Izamal- names that only a few discerning travellers knew back in the early '70s. Joe became an archaeological guru, and I his willing apprentice. He taught me that 'You cannot sell what you have never seen!' I therefore found myself travelling from London to Mexico and the Yucatan, barely a month into beginning my new job! I was young, inexperienced, apprehensive and obviously concerned at taking time away from my young child. I had no need of any of these worries. From the moment I arrived, I was taken into the homes and hearts of, what seemed then to be, the whole of Mexico! I became part of a huge 'family'. I was privileged to be shown sacred sites, caves, local villages, even Indian settlements, where only Mayan was spoken, all previously to some extent unknown to the regular tourist. I loved this country and its people from the second I set foot on Mexican soil. I have never looked back and have tried to repay my debt of enduring friendships and working associations by striving to create and design, the most perfect, tailor-made Mexican itineraries, to show you, the client, the true Mexico that I love so very much. There is no site, special place, beach, hotel or small corner of my adoptive country that I do not know. However, I am constantly learning new things. Always some exciting character property is suddenly appearing or a new theory on the Maya, the Aztec or the Toltec emerging.
We specialise in select holidays for the individual, concentrating on the tradition, style and standard of excellence we have built up over the years. We do not sell "Package Tours". You tell us what you want, where you want to go, what you might have read about Mexico and we do the rest. It might take three or four itineraries until we get it just right. Whether it be that holiday of a lifetime, a business trip, wedding, honeymoon, a select small and up-market conference or just a weekend! As a client, you are the most important element to us. I am so proud to offer you our unique service as we are now in our twenty-fifth year. I hope you will come to know "My" Mexico...... I guarantee
you will want to return for a second visit (and to our credit we
have many complimentary letters from clients who have done just that)! Some interesting facts you may previously not have known about "My Mexico" "Did you know that the sommelier at the Presidente Intercontinental hotel in Mexico City is the number 1 in Mexico and voted number 10 in the world!" DIVING.....Mexico is blessed with 6,000 miles of coastline and an incredible variety of underwater landscapes. The surprising thing is that it is possible to dive in many inland
waters, lakes and old Mayan Cenotes ( wells). Plastic
Surgeons are listed as some of the best in the world. Cosmetic
Surgery and Dentistry attracts many well heeled Female
visitors!! A Mexican housewife would cringe at how long fish is kept before
it reaches our tables in U.K. Fish in Mexico is still moving
when purchased!! Mexico is simply heaven for children... The waters are crystal clear and the beaches clean. We are careful to direct you our client to the safe swimming resorts for small children. We advise you of the properties with "clubs and activities" . If you are travelling with babies we can make the arrangements for a baby sitter and pre-advise the hotel that you will need to prepare baby food. Therefore, let me categorically state that Mexico welcomes children. Rather than list the hundreds of properties providing activities for children, let me just state the very few hotels listed within this Website that will only accept from the age of 14... Maroma, Ceiba del Mar, Villa Rolandi, Ikal del Mar, Villa Vera... A final note but I just must add it... The baby clothes in Mexico are divine and so cute!
By this title I mean the client who may be contemplating a "long haul" holiday for the first time. We make everything as easy as pie for you, there is a direct flight to Mexico city and from there it is a simple procedure to have you met and transferred to your destination. Mexico is such a diverse and huge country there is so much to see . Try not to be tempted to just "book two weeks in Cancun"! Not that there is anything wrong with doing this, it is just such pity that this often happens due to lack of knowledge! We are here to help you, we can give advice and send you literature even if we are not your final choice of agent at the end of the day! So just pick up the telephone and call... How to begin... This is how it all works... We talk you through your ideas and what you wish to see. We then put together a sample itinerary. You look at this itinerary and decide if you want to change it in anyway. This can sometimes happen two, three, even five times before we get it exactly to your specification. We then give you a costing for you to consider and make a decision. This "costing" is not set in stone! There are always ways of making an itinerary work for a smaller budget. "We do not mind how much work we put into your file, we just want you the client to be happy." The worst thing that can happen to us is that you do not enjoy Mexico! A sample costing Mexico is not an expensive country. Food and drink is less expensive than the U.S.and U.K. so many people make the mistake of thinking "they have to go to an all inclusive" because "it is cheaper"! As mentioned above we cost each itinerary separately and since we do not do "package tours" we are able to take advantage of an up-to-date Dollar rate to the client's advantage. Currency in Mexico is Pesos but Dollars are equally acceptable. A sample itinerary This is a classic profile of a tour likely to be taken: Day 1: Fly London direct to Mexico City with British Airways Cost for the above itinerary is £1,624.00 per person based
on two people travelling. There are often summer reductions >>
