Kevin made the trip super special - his selections of restaurants, recommendations, etc were spot on. He was super attentive to everyone. I enjoyed the fact that he was local and was proud of his culture and country and was ready to show it off to all.

I enjoyed this trip and glad I went but my previous G tour was better, there were more planned and suggested activities. This one was a lot of planning your own day which is not my intention when boking a tour. Learned a lot about Mexico and bonded with my tour mates
Excellent
A wonderful opportunity to revisit favourite cities in Mexico, in two cases after 56 years! The weather was perfect, the food and tequila tastings were fun and delicious, the art and architecture were fantastic, local guides were knowledgeable, especially the Susana from Guadalajara, the sites were incredible and the couples I met from Lonon, England and Edmonton, Alberts were friendly and interesting such that they really enhanced these wonderful experiences while on tour. Of course, the weather was perfect, and I loved the violinist at our restaurants, as well as my favourite ceviches coupled with white wines. Our street foods were great and the fresh fruit drinks were a treat. Being able to get together with relatives in Mexico City was another highlight, among many highlights. Our guide was fantastic, so thank you for a wonderful tour.
