FAQs

What is the price of the trip?

You will be responsible for paying for your flights and hotel room. After those costs, we require a $1,000 fee per adult ($500 per child). New Story will cover all meals and in-country transportation.

Is Mexico safe?

Yes. Like most places, there are certain areas you should avoid at particular times. But our itinerary will be highly curated and concentrated in the safest areas of the country. Thanks to eight years of working in Mexico, we have established trusted relationships with remarkable local partners.  

What about travel logistics when I'm there?

For ease and safety, your group will have a private driver for the entirety of the trip. Our team will have a private driver ready to pick you up from the airport and take you to the hotel.

What if I want to do something different from the schedule?

We commit to our scheduled itinerary to ensure you have the most impactful experience. If you’d like to do anything else, we recommend staying an extra day or coming a day early. We’re happy to share team recommendations for your extended time. Please let us know if you’d like to do this so we can help you plan accordingly!
