Mexico Festivals and events Trips

Everything within the control of fatima was amazing! She was a great guide and I couldn't have enjoyed the trip more. My only complaints about the trip were the hotel in Oaxaca (located across the street from a speaker store and night club meant loud music from 9am through 4am everyday) and there weren't any meals included in the trip which helped with travel times while on my past tour in Asia. Aside from those 2 complaints, I felt the trip was well planned and I would highly recommend to anyone!

Brilliant experience. Our guide, Pamela, was very attentive and I learned a lot about the local culture from her. Accommodation and tours were all beyond expectations. I would definitely recommend G Adventures.

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.

This was a really well -planned full itinerary with little down time and early starts every morning! The traffic in Mexico City meant that journeys between locations always took a long time but Berto, our driver was very calm.  On the first day you are still recovering from the long day of travel but the visit to the Frida Kahlo House was very worthwhile and the canal boat "dodgems" at Xochimilco was great fun! It was nice to get out of the City to the site at Teotichuacan the next day - the large pyramids are stunningly impressive but you can no longer climb them. The best time was in Oaxaca as we spent 4 nights at the same central hotel and we had plenty of opportunity to soak up the festive atmosphere and see plenty of costumes and parades. The food is very good here and, of course, we learned how to make some salsas and mole. We were lucky enough to spend time at the cemetery with a family where the son was playing the guitar and singing ballads to the dead relatives - very moving and atmospheric. Monte Alban was my favourite archaeological site, partly because of the stunning views but Palenque was lovely because of its jungle location with the howler monkeys screeching in the background and the fact it was possible to climb the Pyramid of the Cross to have a view across the site. Unfortunately, we only had less than an hour at Uxmal as we arrived late in the afternoon and our visit to Chichen Itza was quite short as we had to leave for the airport. We did so many extras and Arturo always ensured we had good places to eat and drink!

An excellent introduction to the sights , sounds and culture of Mexico. It involved long days travelling on occasion, and a larger bus would be an improvement. The one provided had the exact number of seats for the passengers so there was no possibility of spreading out, the seats in the back being particularly cramped.

My 3rd trip with this operator and they just keep om getting better !! The itinerary was really diversified and days were all extremely interesting. May was a great time to travel as we missed the rainy spell. Highly recommended!!
