The trip was a fantastic experience. KimKim and Hugo designed the perfect schedule based on my interests and time frame. Luz communicated with me every day without fail, sometimes several times in a day, to make sure that all was going smoothly. My guides in Mexico City - Pablo Yuchi, Allison (and driver Luis) - were phenomenal. They were knowledgeable, patient, friendly and kind; they obviously enjoyed showing off their city. Guadalajara was incredible as well. The main guide there, for almost the entire week, was Daniel Lara. I would give him 6 stars on a scale of 5 if I could. He shared his wealth of information, his stories, and his good humor throughout the week. I can’t praise him highly enough for his patience and kindness, even when dealing with the Guadalajara traffic. The Among Charros experience was also stellar, an interesting and unexpected introduction to the national sport of Mexico! Both hotels were comfortable and conveniently located.

Hotel Reviews
Casa Decu
Mexico City

Casa Decu is a boutique hotel located in the lovely Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. My room was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was great. Cooked options were also available, but I didn’t order those. Coffee, tea and water are available 24/7.

Visit the basilica of Santa Maria of Guadalupe
Mexico City

This was one of the activities I specifically requested, and I was enthralled to visit this iconic site.

Quality of Experience
We thoroughly explored the entire site, not just the current basilica, giving me all of the relevant background.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Pablo gave explanations about the site, the miracle of the appearance of the Virgen, and the importance of the site for pilgrimages and family visits.
