Helpful Tips

Be Comfortable

Wear shoes that are already broken in. Wear clothes that “feel good.” Please wear shorts ONLY in resort areas. Coat and tie are generally not needed, unless in larger city and when you choose to eat in gourmet restaurants.

Pack Light

Packing and unpacking can be a real chore. Most people pack too many clothes. Try pairing different outfits with a core group of pants or skirts.

Check the Altitude

The altitude will influence the temperature and will help you prepare your wardrobe.

Ask For Help

Montezuma’s Revenge, that age old stomach problem that attacks travelers in many countries, doesn’t just go away! One of the reasons that all of …..OK TOURS!!! trips are escorted is because we want to be there when you need us. If you need help, please call us. Remember, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MORNING! If you need towels, the TV repaired, please call the hotel’s front desk or OK’s representative who is traveling with you.

Medications

Please do not change medications just before a trip or during a trip. If you must change a medication, do so well in advance (For example: six months before your trip.) Make sure to consult with your doctor and let him/her know that you’ll be traveling via coach. While on your trip, take your medications as they have been prescribed. This is not the time to begin a new regiment or make drastic routine changes. For instance, do not change your medication schedule because you’d rather avoid using the restroom. This is why we have restroom facilities available for your trip. 

Drink Less

…Alcohol, that is! Alcohol may affect you more quickly while traveling, especially if you are at higher altitudes. If you drink, do so in moderation. However, drinking a lot of water is a good idea. If traveling through areas that might suffer from contaminated water, please drink bottled water.

Tipping

Here are some general guidelines taken from National Tour Surveys as well as some general advice from …OK TOURS!!! Remember that tipping is a personal way of saying thanks for a job well done. Collections will be made throughout the trip. Tipping should be done individually and to the person who performed the service. Remember to tip in Mexico as you would in the U.S. Good service deserves recognition.

Waiters and Waitresses

The customary practice is to Tip 10% to 20 % of the total bill if you’ve received good service. 

Tour Conductor

Your tour conductor is highly skilled and knowledgeable. He/She will guide you for the duration of the tour. ….OK TOURS!!! suggests that you tip a minimum of $1.00 per person per day in U.S. currency or equivalent.

Bus Driver

Your bus driver is a professional and takes great pride in his unit. He will be with you the entire tour and he carries a great responsibility…..your safety!! ….OK TOURS!!! feel the driver is just as important as the Tour Conductor and suggest $1.00 per person per day in U.S. currency or equivalent.

Jewelry

Because tours can be active and fast-paced, we suggest our travelers leave expensive or irreplaceable jewelry at home.

Wash Clothes

Wash cloths are important items to pack. Try carrying a light washcloth inside a Ziploc bag. Remember, some hotels do not provide washcloths.

How Much Money Do I Need?

The most often asked question is “How much money do I need?” In each country, and even within the country,  prices will vary. When paying cash, the currency of that country should be used. We highly recommend that you exchange your U.S. dollars to pesos before joining your tour group in Mexico. Most places will honor a major credit card.
