All of our arrangements were done well. We enjoyed both the provided tours and exploring on our own. Our guides were very knowledgeable and great people to talk with as well. The drivers for our transfers were also wonderful. I think one thing that will always stay with me is the feeling I got as I climbed the steps at Monte Alban, knowing that those same steps were once walked upon by the Zapotec people very long ago.

Hotel Reviews
Casa González
Mexico City

We have stayed at this hotel twice now, it is always clean, the gardens are beautiful and a pleasure to sit and relax in after a day of exploring. The breakfast they offer is as good as you will find in any of the restaurants nearby.

Authenticity & Character
Like the city itself, it is a mix of newer amenities but, with that old world look and charm.
Location
It is located in an area that is very walkable to many sites in Mexico City.
Staff
The staff is warm and friendly, as well as always being ready to help, rather you need something in your room or a recommendation.
Cleanliness & Comfort
This is. Very clean hotel, they also offer laundry service for a reasonable fee.
Majagua
Oaxaca

It felt like some of the staff was exhausted and overworked. The bar was supposed to be a restaurant too but all we saw was a rudimentary breakfast. Most of the staff were pleasant and helpful, but others, not so much. The facility was quite pleasant looking and most things worked well.

Authenticity & Character
New and modern but I prefer traditional.
Location
Adjacent to a great park with lots going on and one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to - Arte Italia.
Staff
Mostly fine.
Cleanliness & Comfort
El Sueño Hotel & Spa
Puebla

The room was clean and nice, but we noticed that the lamps by the bed kept flickering and upon inspection the wiring for them was scary. The restaurant was kind of spendy with a limited offering. The breakfast that came with the room was okay at best, and also very limited.

Authenticity & Character
A bit too much spa like for our taste.
Location
The location was good, near most of what you will want to see in Puebla.
Staff
The staff were wonderful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Our room was clean and comfortable.

Bottom line - I’d do it again.

Explore the history and crafts of Oaxaca through Monte Alban, Arrazola, Cuilapam and Coyotepec.
