North America Festivals and events Trips

Absolutely amazing experience and tour from start to finish. The energy and vibes of the group, the celebrations, the tour guide, and locations were exceptional. This is definitely one trip that will stick with me forever, and has made me eager to return to Mexico to experience more of their culture and wonderful people. Thank you G Adventures and Fatima for a beautiful trip!

Everything within the control of fatima was amazing! She was a great guide and I couldn't have enjoyed the trip more. My only complaints about the trip were the hotel in Oaxaca (located across the street from a speaker store and night club meant loud music from 9am through 4am everyday) and there weren't any meals included in the trip which helped with travel times while on my past tour in Asia. Aside from those 2 complaints, I felt the trip was well planned and I would highly recommend to anyone!

Brilliant experience. Our guide, Pamela, was very attentive and I learned a lot about the local culture from her. Accommodation and tours were all beyond expectations. I would definitely recommend G Adventures.

Alejandro was excellent in every way. He made this trip better than it already was. He was always energetic, thoughtful, and going out of his way to accommodate us. If there were any unexpected hiccups they were dealt with, with little interruptions if any to the trip. He was the first up and the last to go to bed. On a trip like this, the guide can make it or break it and he differently made this trip. Alejandro, you are the best, thanks for your hard work, and patience, and for making it an unforgettable wonderful time. This will be one of my best memories. The trip highlighted all the places and things I wanted to see and do without the hassle of me figuring it out on my own and I liked the fact that the groups are small.

This was one of the best trips I've ever taken. There's no way I could have experienced Day of the Dead in Oaxaca at this level of authentic participation without the guides bringing us into the community.

This was a really well -planned full itinerary with little down time and early starts every morning! The traffic in Mexico City meant that journeys between locations always took a long time but Berto, our driver was very calm.  On the first day you are still recovering from the long day of travel but the visit to the Frida Kahlo House was very worthwhile and the canal boat "dodgems" at Xochimilco was great fun! It was nice to get out of the City to the site at Teotichuacan the next day - the large pyramids are stunningly impressive but you can no longer climb them. The best time was in Oaxaca as we spent 4 nights at the same central hotel and we had plenty of opportunity to soak up the festive atmosphere and see plenty of costumes and parades. The food is very good here and, of course, we learned how to make some salsas and mole. We were lucky enough to spend time at the cemetery with a family where the son was playing the guitar and singing ballads to the dead relatives - very moving and atmospheric. Monte Alban was my favourite archaeological site, partly because of the stunning views but Palenque was lovely because of its jungle location with the howler monkeys screeching in the background and the fact it was possible to climb the Pyramid of the Cross to have a view across the site. Unfortunately, we only had less than an hour at Uxmal as we arrived late in the afternoon and our visit to Chichen Itza was quite short as we had to leave for the airport. We did so many extras and Arturo always ensured we had good places to eat and drink!
