This short but oh-so sweet trip through Central Mexico captures some of the best parts of the country's culture, landscapes, and tasty culinary traditions. You’ll visit the massive pyramids at the ancient Aztec capital of Teotihuacán before travelling to Puebla, a city famous for its talavera pottery and beautiful architecture. Next, you’re heading to Oaxaca where you’ll cap off your trip with a seemingly endless variety of delicious food and cultural traditions, including a visit to an “alebrijes" workshop where you’ll see these brightly coloured art pieces synonymous to the region being brought to life. Muy bueno, indeed.

excellent tour but a little bit too much free time. Would've liked more included activities. Our guide really tried to schedule things but I would've liked them included in the package.

The guide was excellent, some of the hotels were mediocre and uncomfortable.

Overall the trip went well! We enjoyed traveling with a group, having a mix of planned and fixed days, and having a guide to help us make the most of our time. it's really nice to not have to worry about making bookings or arranging transportation. There were a few hiccups with registration (wrong name, we had to confirm pre and post hotel stays twice, we had to confirm our airport transfer twice) which made me a bit nervous pre-trip. Additionally, we didn't like the first hotel.

It was nice having the freedom to do your own thing but also have activities planned and have the expertise of the CEO. The activities were fun, interesting, and helped me learn about the culture. I also made great friends!

Good CEO, up front with included activities. No obligation to join in on everything.

The cities and sites that we went to were all very interesting and exactly what I had hoped for. Also the hotels were comfortable and unique and right in the center of the old towns, perfect for exploring.

The tour was great and our CEO Mane was amazing. Such a thoughtful and big hearted person. Learned a lot about Mexico from Mane.

it's a lot of travel with only one day in each place, so if they want to explore a city for two days, it's not the right style of travel. But otherwise would recommend.

Long travels. Too much time in vans. Drivers don't use GPS. We spent almost 2 extra hours due to accident on main road. Could have gone off main road and saved at least 2 hours due to accident

The tour was well organized, a good value, and took me to travel experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise
