Hi, thank you for being here and for taking us into consideration, we feel truly honored. We are aware that there is a lot of fantastic choice for you to pick for your next trip.

At tova travel, we have curated round trip tours for you that show you a country from a local and personal perspective. We prefer slow travel even though we move around quite a bit, it’s more the mindset. We want you to immerse yourself in the culture, learn from locals, taste the food, smell the air, sip the drinks and the hidden gems of every country and of every place with your local guide who knows best. We are not visitors - we live and breathe a culture.

For each trip to all of our offered itineraries, we have decided to travel in small groups of minimum 2 travellers (plus a host) and maximum 7 travellers (plus one host). On some tours, the group size is even smaller, which allows for a very personal and intimate tour - you will experience the country and its culture from a very local perspective! Smaller group sizes allow us to be present for you, and you to be part of a group as opposed to be part of an anonymous tour. Also, the idea of a small group is much more accessible for locals than larger groups.

One of the founding ideas of tova travel was to give back to people and create opportunities for locals. We know that there have been many false claims of sustainability in the tourism sector specifically. We work closely with locals, embrace and support local artists and wholeheartedly care about responsible tourism. Whenever possible, we choose accommodations who support eco-friendliness.

Please note that your flights are not included, we kindly ask to book separately and please let us know your arrival and departure details prior to your touch down in Mexico, so that we can arrange your pick up and departure at the airport.

All travellers and participants must be 18 years of age or older to travel with us unless it is stated otherwise, in which case a minor (under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an authorized adult. We ask you for written proof of that.

We also ask you to send us a copy of your travel insurance - it is mandatory for all of our trips.

Please get your visa or check visa regulations for your country, it is mandatory.

We recommend you check your vaccinations in case you need to refresh those.

Are you curious and adventurous and want to squash in the most of your time into your trip to fully grasp the respective culture? Are you perhaps travelling solo but would want to be in a small group that feels like a group of friends travelling, sharing food and drinks around the table and many experiences on the road, rather than greeting strangers at the breakfast table? (Don’t worry, we have included flex time as well to charge those social batteries if you need to.) Do you want to connect with the local culture? Do you like balance, to lay your head in a stylish boutique hotel but also sample street food? Do you know that in Mexico things might work differently, the bus might not be on time but you are in it for the adventure?

Then you are one of us and this tour is for you. Come and join us!

Yes, absolutely. We understand that you need some time on your own, to unwind and charge your social batteries. When we curated the tours for you, we integrated free time for you as well, which you can spend however you feel like it.

We will also send you a curated guide about Mexico with our personal tips for you so you can rely on these, whenever you would like to have some time on your own and not feel lost.

If you do not feel like doing a specific experience on the trip with us, and would like to spend the time for yourself, you can of course let us know and opt out. Kindly understand that these experiences are non-refundable.

For our Cambodia tour, we have chosen experiences and activities for you that capture the fascinating Khmer and modern day culture, which will bring you closer to the local culture. Depending on the season, we might have to change the activities to adjust to the season. For instance, the visit to the floating village is only available during the rainy and hot season. Instead, we will replace this tour with one that will be available with one that is available and which has the same value.

You will receive a complete full itinerary with all information you need in our “Welcome package”, including our guide on Mexico with our personal tips, via e-mail.

Most of the tours in our itinerary are private tours, so just you and your host and your guide, others may be with other people. For instance, a performance at the theatre will be open to the public.

For Mexico, we have curated two separate tours, in order to be able to give you very specific insights.

We generally embrace and support the local culture, and also work with local guides, who are the ultimate expert on their culture. Our aim is to bring you close the Mexican culture and give you personal and unique insights.

We recommend you bring some biodegradable sun screen, as we will be enjoying swims in eco parks and cenotes. We recommend to buy mosquito spray in Mexico.
