Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this trip, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Mexico's Colonial Highlands: San Miguel de Allende & Querétaro

5 nights Pre-trip

Travel deep into the heart of Mexico’s rugged central highlands to explore San Miguel de Allende, Mexico’s “Rainbow City,” known for its brightly-colored colonial architecture and infectious spirit of celebration. Spend a day in Guanajuato, a former mining town that is still relatively undiscovered by American travelers, and explore Queretaro, renowned for its immaculately-preserved historic core.

The Yucatán Peninsula: Campeche & Mérida

5 nights Post-trip

Discover the Yucatán Peninsula and its enchanting blend of natural beauty, ancient Mayan cities, and Spanish colonial architecture. Explore Campeche, with its historic walled core and laid-back waterfront; immerse yourself in the diverse cultural offerings of Mérida, “The White City;” and ponder the mysteries of Chichen Itza, left behind by the ancient Mayans.

Here's why 55% of travelers take these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
  • This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your trip getting to know your Program Director and developing bonds with each other.

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 50% of Grand Circle travelers are customizing their air itineraries on this trip:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing
  • Depart from one city and return to another
  • Choose to arrive early in your destination before your pre-trip extension or main trip
  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your trip. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.
