A Private Tour Guide will share their knowledge and passion in their town.  They understand the local customs, neighborhoods, shopping places, pros and cons of certain neighborhoods, and more. They have local expertise, relationships, and knowledge, allowing them to provide a worry-free, life-enriching experience. 

Our Private Tour Guides are bi-lingual. Your Private Tour Guide will give you the “inside scoop” about the town you are most interested in relocating to and will help you see what life as a local is like. Because of their expertise, you’ll leave the Private Tour with a deeper understanding of what life is like in the town you explore. And you’ll see the REAL Mexico without sugar-coating.


Private Tour Cost

$200-300 USD per day (price depends on itinerary). The price is per couple or 1-2 people on the tour. Ask your tour guide for a final quote.

DATES:  You decide!  It’s completely customized to your schedule!

EXTRA PEOPLE – There is a $100 USD per person fee if there is a 3rd or 4th person on your tour. Ask your tour guide for a final quote.


What’s Included?

A Basic Private Tour includes transportation during your tour, making arrangements for you to see and do the things you want to accomplish, visit neighborhoods that fit your lifestyle, learning about the local shopping options, and breaks for lunch and such. They will share their wealth of information about living in the area so you can really see what living like a local is like.

A Mexico Relocation Tour does not include hotels, airport pickup, meals, tips or entry fees.

Your tour guide can make recommendations for you on places to eat or places to stay but they will not cover your meals or hotel. They will meet you at your hotel or other accommodations to start your Private Tour unless you arrange for pickup at a different location.

You may want to do a Private Tour in one area, then do another Private Tour in a different city or town to see how they compare. Many of our customers do that, and they can accomplish what would normally take them months, in a few days. 

Keep in mind that if you plan to do a multicity tour, you are responsible for your transportation between cities. Your private tour guide may be available to take you to a different city for an extra fee. It is up to you to discuss this with your tour guide. Otherwise, we recommend taking one of Mexico’s super comfortable and very affordable buses. Like the ADO, ETN, or ODM.

Mexico is a large country, and many cities are hours apart. Please keep this in mind when making arrangements for a multi-city Mexico relocation tour.

We have Mexico relocation tours nationwide!

Customer Reviews

Richard Huff

Ana was excellent, and this was the kick-off of our tour. She took us and showed us multiple areas, from rentals to new constructions to even existing properties. Ana was well-versed in the Ajijic and Lake Chapala area; we could not have asked for a better guide. Ana took us to a delicious Viva Mexico restaurant where we had lunch, addressing our dietary issues. Ana kept lines of communication open, although she knew we were traveling from Ajijic/Chapala region to Queretaro. She was personable, professional, and informative. You can’t ask for a better tour guide or house hunter; she was impressive.

 

Kelli Bush

Me, my husband and our son came to Ajijic for the first time and we had a private tour guide in Ajijic.  She picked us up at our hotel every day and drove us all around to look at properties. She was patient and sweet and even took us to her brother’s food truck right on the main street in Ajijic.. it was amazing!  Our private tour guide was born and raised in Lake Chapala and knows the area and everybody in the area! We looked at one house, in particular, that was going to require major construction and Demolition and she brought over a contractor and they spent over an hour with us looking over the house. She even showed us where she lives and the beautiful house where she was dog-sitting!!  In fact today she toured a house with us via video! We are coming back down in 2 weeks to look at more houses with her. We absolutely recommend her 100%!”

Tania Grozelle

I just wanted to say that the recommended tour guide in Puerto Vallarta is fantastic! She is an amazing guide and will customize for whatever you need. We toured some schools and different neighborhoods. She even helped book our PCR test for our return flight to Canada.

Jacquelene Maestas

Our private relocation tour was the highlight of our entire trip. We went through established neighborhoods, new developments, and local areas. I let our tour guide know my husband is the cook, we went to a grocery store to compare prices and look at all types of goodies. I picked up a few things to take home. Then we went to lunch at a local place not far from Playa del Carmen. Talk about yummy food!!! We walked 5th Avenue for a bit, and then it was back to looking around neighborhoods.

We learned SO much during our day with our local guide. I have been pushing for Riviera Maya, and this tour gave my husband new insight into the area. He didn’t want to come home.

How to Prepare For A Private Tour?

To get the most out of your Private Tour, it’s important to communicate with your Private Tour Guide what you want to see and do.

If you want to see the neighborhoods that offer the things you want for your lifestyle, or if you want specific amenities nearby like grocery stores or public transportation- make sure you communicate with your private tour guide.

For example, if you want a $1000 a-month 3-bedroom 2-bath house with a pool facing the ocean, it will be almost impossible to find that in Huatulco, Puerto Vallarta, or Playa del Carmen. But there are other areas like Mazatlan or Puerto Morelos where that property may be available. Talk with your private tour guide, and together, you can create a realistic and custom experience!

If you want to meet with your immigration facilitator during your Private Tour, be sure to let your Private Tour Guide know so they can add that to your customized itinerary. They won’t schedule your consultation with your immigration facilitator, but will gladly take you to meet with him/her.

If you are traveling with young kids and want to see what school options you have, let your private tour guide know, and they can schedule you and your family to visit the local private schools.

In addition, tell your private tour guide what you are NOT interested in seeing. By clearly communicating what you do and do not want to see or learn about, your Private Tour Guide can create the ideal itinerary. Of course, your Private Tour Guide can make suggestions too.

To get the best experience during your Private Tour, only pick a Private Tour Guide from our list in the area you are interested in. For example, if you want to learn about living in San Miguel de Allende and see rentals in San Miguel de Allende, you should only pick a Private Tour Guide from our San Miguel de Allende list. If you want to learn about living in Ajijic and see rentals in Ajijic or other Lake Chapala areas, you should only pick a Private Tour Guide from the Lake Chapala list.

These Private Tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis. In some towns, we have multiple Private Tour Guides. But in some areas, we only have one expert Private Tour Guide.
