After falling ill and hallucinating crazy figures and creatures inside his mind, the artist decided to bring what he saw to life by creating the small figurines we know as Alebrijes. Often made of a mash-up between animals, these figurines are now made by Oaxacan artisans out of wood and then painted with vibrant pigments and lots of patterns. Learn more about how these figurines integrated themselves into Oaxacan/Mexican folklore and how the craft expanded from originally being made from cardboard to now being carved from Copal wood. Meet a local artisan and speak with them, ask any questions the group may have and to learn more about how the Alebrijes are crafted. Then enjoy an authentic Oaxacan lunch at Zoológico Mágico. Here, you'll see why a meal is more than food -- it's a celebration of Oaxaca's vibrant traditions, brought to life. Each dish is a tribute to their heritage, featuring iconic plates like mole negro.Activity - All walks will be slightly different, allowing your CEO to show off their favourite spots.

The logistics are taken care of, the CEO are excellent, and generally the other travelers are enjoyable.

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.
12/22/2023
The guide was excellent, some of the hotels were mediocre and uncomfortable.
12/22/2023
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.

Our guide Rafael was amazing. Very accommodating, sincere and knowledgeable. The price is also very affordable.

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.
12/08/2023
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.

Our CEO represented G Adventures in an exemplary fashion. I particularly liked the variety of optional activities.

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
