Who was in the near future, I ask for advice!
There is an idea to visit Mexico in March 2013 according to the following program: ~ week excursion + ~ week seaside vacation (4-5* hotels). There are no charters from Ukraine. Please advise possible options for the flight, the choice of the optimal excursion route and a decent hotel at a reasonable price. I would be very grateful to everyone who responded!

Good afternoon! My parents are currently on vacation in Cancun. From the rest in full delight:
- the quality of the hotel, food and service is very good, they rest in Riu Caribe
- amazing sea + unusual flora and fauna
Many excursions (fishing, pyramids, Yucatan) are booked on the spot.
The tour was ordered through the USA (friends helped), it turns out cheaper than from Ukraine. We flew first to New York (flight about 800 USD round trip) spent a few days in the city, and then flew to Mexico. If you order a tour in the USA, the cost is about 1000 USD. with flight and meals AI.

To organize such a tour through the USA, you need an American visa, and if you don’t have one, then you may have difficulty obtaining it, since you don’t fly to spend money in the USA, but simply transit. I left a story on this site about the tour of Mexico "Five Civilizations" 9 days of excursion + 6 days at sea (the number of days at sea can be adjusted). Tour worthwhile no matter what. Holidays on the coast of Yutakama are a delight. Now I have returned from the Dominican Republic and the impressions are not the same as compared to Mexico. There is also the "Eagle and the Snake" tour (or vice versa), it is less stressful according to the program, but probably more expensive because it involves an internal flight, although due to a smaller number of excursion days the prices may be equivalent. We had a flight through Paris, we were satisfied. Do not forget, the earlier you book tickets, the cheaper they are, three months in advance is ideal.

I also know about flying through the USA, although a lot of reasonably priced flights actually fly through them. About five years ago we flew through Paris to the Dominican Republic, we liked it very much, but there were nuances on the way back. I would like to ask, did you rest on the coast after the excursion? Did you fly back from Cancun to Mexico City, and then further or somehow differently? And one more thing: what are the prices in cafes along the route, how tiring are the journeys (distances seem to be not small), and in general, what is the budget for the day (without souvenirs, with normal food)? Thanks in advance to everyone for your replies!!! We are trying to decide whether to fly directly to Cancun via Moscow, and from there go on excursions, or still immediately buy a sightseeing tour, I will be glad for any information.

From Cancun we flew to Paris, and from there to Kyiv. We also had a problem, the flight from Cancun was delayed and we missed the flight to Kyiv. There is another option via Amsterdam, there is more connecting time, but the plane does not fly from Cancun to Amsterdam every day, you need to adapt. I can not copy the link to my story about the excursion tour, but you can find it if you enter the "Countries" - Mexico (without entering the "Hotel Reviews" option) all reviews appear. Above the reviews on the left there is a box in which you need to select "only stories" and you get to all the stories about Mexico and excursions. In my story, I wrote about the road and the prices.

I found your feedback and comments immediately when I saw the first answer, thank you, very interesting and informative. We had the same problem with the flight from the Dominican Republic on the way back - with the already short time for docking in Paris, the plane from Punta Cana was also late, the French did not want to help in any way, all through a scandal. But there were ten of us from the Kiev flight, and we still managed to get settled in a hotel for the night, but the sediment remained. Thank you for your answers, after the New Year holidays we will decide, and if you don’t mind, maybe I’ll ask you about the details.
