I’m not a big ‘foodie’ but my partner is, so I was expecting to just tag along for the ride. However, I absolutely loved this trip. It had the perfect mix of relaxation, food tasting, adventure, independent exploration and educational visits.
We visited a few weeks before Día de Muertos and each place was busy putting up decorations and preparing for the celebration. I’m glad we got to see these.
As a wildlife lover, the speed boat trip through the Sumidero Canyon was a highlight for me. And we were pleased we opted to go on the Mount Alban trip as we had the whole site to ourselves for a while!
Luis our guide, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make the trip memorable for each person and we were very well looked after.
There were a couple of long drives, but our minibus had reclining seats, USB charging ports on seat backs and we stopped frequently for comfort breaks. The scenery along the way was incredible and the journeys flew by!
Mexican food is famous worldwide and rightly recognized as Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage. That said, eating in Mexico might differ from the Mexican food you know from the restaurant in your hometown. Mexican food has to be experienced at its source.
From your arrival, our team will ensure a seamless and luxurious experience. Begin with a visit to the Tequila and Mezcal Museum, where you'll explore the artisanal process of these iconic beverages and enjoy tastings paired with a delightful dinner overlooking Garibaldi Square.
The next day, dive into the rich history of Mexico City with a walking tour of its Historical Center, followed by a gastronomic adventure in the vibrant Polanco neighborhood. Discover authentic Oaxacan cuisine, Mexican cantinas, and top-rated tacos.

End your tour with an optional hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacan's pyramids, a comprehensive archaeological site visit, and a culinary workshop. Conclude with a brunch at the Ritz Carlton before your departure, leaving you with lasting memories of Mexico's flavors and culture.
