This trip packs a lot in - culture, Mayan sites, eating, seeing local craftsmen at work, and just soaking up the atmosphere in the old Spanish colonial towns. Around and about in Mexico city, beautiful Puebla, San Cristobal and then lots of Mayan sites.
The hotels were all good (had one slight problem in one of them but hopefully Exodus can get that sorted out for future trips).
There are some long travelling days due to the distances which need to be covered, but it's worth it and a lot of the scenery is just amazing to see.

The trip exceeded all expectations. The planned / optional itineraries were so, so good; and the CEO went above and beyond to ensure I (and the rest of the group) maximised every opportunity to have great experiences.
