I had recently completed the Viva Mexico tour that departed on 20th July and was led by the awesome Vitor.
The tour was awesome from day 1 and well organized and run with the perfect mix of culture and relax time. The group was great and I was fully able to enjoy my time in Mexico.

I had an amazing time on this trip! G Adventures continues to impress me, and I’ll keep recommending them to all my friends. I did the Merida to Yucatan tour back in 2023, and after just completing the Mexico City to Puerto Escondido leg, I honestly wish I had enough time off to do the entire route in one go. This tour is such a unique blend of adventure, relaxation, culture, and beauty, all at a very fair price!
Even though I came home with a staph infection (worth it!), the experience was so much fun that I can’t complain. The memories, the people, and the adventures far outweighed any downsides. Can’t wait to plan the next one!
