Reviews of our Oaxaca Tours for January
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Oaxaca during January.
Candace B | Traveled in January
The historical related activities (like archeological sites and historic learning) was a good mix with the more modern culture and current vibe of Mexico. Also experiencing the faster pace of CDMX versus Puebla/Oxaca was a great contrast.
Christelle D | Traveled in January
Very nice trip that gives a great opportunity to explore Mexican cities and have local experiences (like the tortilla/mole cooking "class") as well as to learn about the culture and history of Mexico
Mariagnes C | Traveled in January
Far exceeded our expectations. The activities were well planned providing insight into the culture and history of the region. The CEO and our group made it an even more rewarding and enriching experience
Jody | Traveled in January
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.
NMC | Traveled in January
viva mexico has been the perfect starting point for our travels around central america. the whole experience was made super stress free with support from our leader ethan who we genuinely felt we could come to with anything. this tour gives so much variety in exploring mexico - you have both culture and fun! also, places you get to visit with this tour are so unique and oftentimes off the beaten path ; it would be near impossible to organise this all ourselves. a couple of honorable mentions have to go out to the church in san juan chamula (one of the most surreal experiences in my life) and to bacalar which felt like the most incredible beach holiday possible. everything on this tour, from the leader, guides and organisation to cooking breakfast with indigenous communities and learning so much about mexicos culture and history - just amazing.
