Private Tours in Mexico: Why More People Are Going Private (And Why You Might Too)
Is a Private Tour in Mexico Right for You?
No matter which part of Mexico you visit, everywhere is a sensory feast of colors, flavors, sounds, and friendly people that smiles you at every corner. So how do you choose the best way to experience it all?
Is it better to book a private tour or join a group excursion?
If you’ve been wondering the same, you’re not alone it can be confusing some times, specially with so many options available, so here’s a breakdown that might help you decide what kind of travel truly fits you.
"Private tours are not just a luxury they’re a different philosophy of travel".
Why Private Tours Might Be Exactly What You Need?
It means moving at your own pace, with a guide who adapts to your interests, energy, and mood. It means avoiding rigid schedules, waiting times, and distractions.
It also means being able to ask questions freely, take detours, and connect with people in a deeper, more personal way.
At Crossing Paths Mx, we design private day tours to places where nature, community, and storytelling come together not just for photos, but for presence.
Whether it’s spotting spider monkeys in Punta Laguna, snorkeling with whale sharks, watching a sunrise at the caribbean or tasting mezcal with a local ,you travel with intention, not just itinerary.
And What About Group Tours?
We get it sometimes, you want to travel with others. That’s why we also offer a limited selection of multi-day small group journeys, pre-scheduled and theme-based. These are designed for travelers who enjoy sharing, but still value meaningful exchange and low-impact travel.
They’re not your typical group tours.
They’re semi-private, with small groups (usually under 8), led by passionate local guides, and focused on specific regions or conservation efforts. Think of it as traveling with purpose, not in a crowd.
And just to clarify, we don’t offer shared day tours. If you're looking for those massive group buses or package-style stops, we're probably not the right fit. And that's okay.
What’s Right for You?
If you:
- Prefer to ask questions and take your time
- Travel with kids, older adults, or friends with different energy levels
- Want to support local guides and community-run experiences
Like discovering hidden places that don’t show up on most maps
… then a private tour is not just “worth it”, it’s essential.
And if you:
- Want to meet like-minded travelers
- Love having your trip curated and guided from start to finish
- Have no time to plan
… then one of our small group expeditions might be perfect.
In the End, It’s Not About Private vs. Group…
It’s about how you want to feel when you travel.
How much you want to connect.
And how your journey can leave a positive impact, not only on the land, but with the people, and the most important, with yourself.
Cross paths with experiences that regenerate and transform.
