Our trips take us to touristy areas which, for the most part, are safe. We do however, keep in contact with local guides and check local advisories to be sure there are no current problems in the areas we are planning to visit. If we consider a tour location to be dangerous, we would either cancel the tour or change the itinerary to avoid the place in question.
It should be noted that in Mexico, as in most parts of the world, there is petty crime. For this reason, we always recommend that people leave behind expensive jewellery and are careful when handling cash in public, so as not to draw attention.
