Excellent Itinerary and guide! Relaxed pace, unlike some other "full on" trips. Lots of downtime to explore at your own pace. Kei our guide was fantastic - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and always cheerful

I am thrilled to have found Intrepid. Travelling solo is new to me so I was happy to feel safe and secure. The small group of 12 people was just enough to meet and enjoy others but not too big to feel overwhelmed. The accommodations were lovely (pools included) and the sites were the ones I would choose on my own. The words on the back of my guides shirt, We are Intrepid, We are real, We are curious, described me perfectly. I will be taking another Intrepid journey very soon.

This is a great introduction to Central Mexico and its cultural heritage. It's a speedy trip with quite a lot of walking so good shoes, hat and water bottle essential. There are a couple of free days to fit in some of the things not included in the activities. Some research before you arrive in CDMX would be a good thing after that you have a great Group Leader to advise. For a taste of Mexico, it's history and culture this is a great start.

Mexico City, Puebla, and Oaxaca are the crown jewels of Mexico. Every time I visit Mexico it continues to exceed my expectations. The tour is well organized, hotels were excellent for the price point, and the cities are magical. Lots of free time to explore on your own and just wander the town centers. Plenty for people interested in history, fancy coffee shops, authentic shopping, art and culture. Can't wait to go back.

Great trip

Excellent tour balancing flexibility with a variety of included activities. I would recommend extra days in Mexico City before and Oaxaca after the tour as there’s a lot to see and do there. If you can take a tour with Karla, sign up: she’s empathetic, enthusiastic, informative - one of the best tour guides or facilitators I’ve ever encountered.

I loved the boat trip out to the chinampa at San Pedro Tlahuac. It was fascinating to meet the people there and learn about this style of farming. I would never have discovered that on my own so thanks! Also loved Puebla. I didn't know much about Puebla before this trip and it was one of the highlights for me. Such a beautiful place. I also felt very safe everywhere we went.

The tour leader is great, I had a great time. I do hope they can change the hotel in Mexico city, the windows cannot be open which is a bit annoying.

This is an excellent introduction to Mexico. You hit the highspots of the culture and archeology with enough free time to explore on your own. It was very hot in March so hats, waterbottles and suncream essential. A very enjoyable trip to get you wanting more of this vibrant country.

We enjoyed this introduction to Mexico. Our guide Kei was so informative and friendly. I would suggest spending 3 or 4 days at least in Mexico City before joining the tour and a few extra days in Oaxaca at the end. Feb was a great time to go weather wise.

Not having done an organized tour before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I were so pleased that we chose this. There are opportunities with Intrepid that you can’t get going by yourself. And for a first trip to Mexico, as well, it was great to have all the logistics figured out. All I had to worry about was if I wanted cheese or chicken with my mole. Our guide Sabina was excellent, and we were lucky to have a great group. Would choose an Intrepid trip again without any hesitation.

Sabina was an amazing group leader - the only thing that would have improved our tour would have been more time!

The Original tour for Mexico City to Oaxaca was perfect for me as a solo female traveler. There was just enough planned to keep me culturally engaged and to learn the ins and outs of getting around safely, plus enough down time to explore on my own or rest when needed.

Our Intrepid trip through Mexico was a delight and a breeze thanks to our outstanding tour leader, Sabina. Intrepid handled all the logistics to let us focus on the sights, not the worrisome travel details. Already planning another tour.

A very enjoyable tour of three beautiful and varied cities. Our guide, Kei was incredible - informative, professional, enthusiastic and so helpful. Do your own research though as we would have missed important aspects of our trip if we just followed the suggested optional activities on the itinerary.

Intrepid does not disappoint. They are a first-rate company with an eye on travel experiences, knowledgeable guides, and concern for the environmental impact of traveling.

If you see a tour organized by Intepid run away from it. Big problems with communication one organization.
