Manuel the guide gave us a very helpful history lesson about this site

The guide Manuel has superb knowledge and answered all questions to link the site to current sociopolitical events

Wonderful initiative by the community for the community!!

Very interesting

Beautiful hotel with great service and breakfast. We really liked the environment and staff here. Location was just off the historic center, so it was easy to walk everywhere. We always felt safe and comfortable while staying here.

This hotel is located right in the historic center, just two blocks away from the cathedral and the national palace. Lots of great places to eat nearby. Staff was great, and we enjoyed the choices available in the breakfast buffet.

This was a very busy day with lots of locations to visit. Hierve el Agua was a very beautiful location, and Mitla was fascinating to explore. We also learned quite a bit about the natural dye process in Teotitlán, and the mezcal making process. We ended our day with a mezcal tasting that was much more fun than we expected!

There was so much tasty food to try! We toured through Oaxaca trying different food, such as memelas, tetelas, and tlayudas to name a few. Our guide explained the history and the importance of all the markets we visited. We learned a lot and had a great time.

We really enjoyed this part of our trip. We met several master artisans and were able to speak to them about their work and experiences. We also got to tour some workshops to learn more about their process in creating certain handicrafts. And of course we were able to purchase some at these locations. We made sure to come back with lots of mementos from this part of our trip.

Monte Alban was an incredible place to visit with so much rich history. Our guide walked us through the ruins and provided lots of information about the location. We spent a good while walking around and exploring the ruins, learning about the different buildings and places he carvings that are still visible. The alebrijes workshop was very fun, and we were able to meet the master artisan there and learn about his experiences and his father who was the one who taught him.

The walking tour was great and our guide gave excellent explanations for every stop. We even learned about the local amber production which weren’t expecting. Overall a great tour that went by too fast. There was so much to see! We learned about local handicrafts, the local churches md their history, and much more.

The excursion to Sumidero Canyon was fantastic and was 2 hours full of information about the canyon we saw nd its local flora and fauna. We saw some very unexpected fauna during the boat tour, and our guide was able to point out things we weren’t able to see at first. We received some very heavy rain immediately after the boat tour, but it stopped shortly after and we were able to explore Chiapa de Corzo after.

Photos we saw online don’t do these locations justice. Seeing the waterfalls in person was incredible and words can’t describe how beautiful they are. It was very hot and humid at these locations, but it was worth it to experience in person.

The Palenque Archeological Site was incredible to see in person. There is so much to see, and the pyramids are nothing like we expected. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the location and its history. We also requested the tour into the jungle, and he was able to provide it. We learned a lot about the nature surrounding the site, and were now to see ruins still partially hidden by the jungle.

We specially requested this stop as it wasn’t part of the original itinerary but wanted to see it as we were going to be in the area. The zoo isn’t particularly impressive, but we went to see the stone monuments on the display there. It was incredible to see how many ancient pieces were on display.

We were able to learn a lot about Mexico City and its history. Our guide, Garuda, was fantastic to talk to and had a lot to show us. Mexico City has so much rich history, and we saw so much more of the historic center than we expected.

Teotihuacan was such an incredible place to visit. The pyramids are so impressive to see in person. We were able to climb up the moon pyramid and see a spectacular view of the rest of the ruins. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area’s history and made the tour a fantastic experience.

Worked great for our family of four with kids 12 and 15. Beautiful ocean view rooms. The connected restaurant was one of the best we ate at the whole trip. Bar is relaxing with ocean views also. Seems like you are on a remote island yet amenities are very close by.

Motel is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are just gorgeous with large semi-private open air lounging areas outside the rooms. Pool that I think only we used. Not many guests, so a lot of the time it felt like you have the whole place to yourself. Bar on site next to the refreshing pool. Located in a convenient area with their own bar and restaurant across the street and in walking distance to major sites of the city, restaurants, bars, and shops.

Nice rooms, balconies with great views of the ocean. Private pool that never felt crowded as there really aren't that many guests. Great breakfasts delivered to your door when you want. No bar or restaurant on site, but if you are on the beach bar tenders come over and deliver you drinks. Massage therapy people come by too. Plus you are only a few blocks from the happening 5th Avenue with its bars, restaurants, live music, and shops.

Quite a few people there, but they are pretty spread out, so not crowded in the water. Definitely, saw numerous turtles very close up. It was really cool. It is shallow in case you fear open water.

The boat ride, especially through the canal area was super fun plus you see a lot of fish and birds. Floating down the canal is super relaxing and a unique experience. My oldest kid could do it every day of his life. You see Mayan ruins here and there. We saw manatees, which was amazing, interesting fish close up, ospreys, herons it is just a beautiful place. Kids loved it 10 out of 10 until my 12 year old lost his cell phone on an island we went to. It was all his fault, but the guides tried their best to find it in multiple ways and worked hard to console him. So any negatives to the trip was just our family being us. Awesome trip.

Beautiful. Water was so refreshing after being crazy hot at Chichen Itza. Saw Mot Mots.

The main pyramid is absolutely astonishing! The whole place is amazing. There are a ton of people though. It is also very exposed and hot.

Much more mellow and less crowded than Chichen Itza. It is quite a bit different. You can climb the pyramids if you want. Much more shade than Chichen Itza too, which made it more relaxed.

Awesome experience! We almost cancelled this because my family was kind of burnt out from Chichen Itza and Ek Balaam the days before. Worried the bike ride might be hot and miserable. Instead the bike ride was super fun, honestly the bike ride was probably the best I have ever been on and that is saying something. It is flat and shady and not very far. The ruins are different from the other two. Very laid back here compared to Chichen Itza. Very fun!

Very unique place. A very cool experience.
