Mexico Guided Tours & Trips
What if you could explore Mexico City's historic Zocalo with its cathedral and Aztec ruins, and climb the massive Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan? You'll discover Puebla's charming historic center filled with Talavera tiles, visit ancient Mitla ruins with their geometric stone mosaics, and boat through the majestic Sumidero Canyon with walls rising 1,000 meters. It’s time to start planning.

Victor was an excellent guide, extremely knowable and very entertaining. Would very much enjoy another tour with his guidance.
Mexico Real Food AdventureThe overall tour was exceptional! Our tour had to be altered a bit as we didn’t depart from the US. We were treated like royalty by Rigoberto who handled our early arrival, special accommodations and pick up transportation after the train trip. The canyons are spectacular, a must see and visiting where the Raramuri indigenous people live was eye opening. Learning about the El Chepe train and experiencing the journey through the country will be cherished as well as the EL Mirador Hotel located on the rim of the canyon. All staff were friendly and kind. I highly recommend this adventure of a lifetime.
Escorted Group Tour: San Carlos & Copper Canyon Mexico Train TourI liked this tour a lot. The hotel we stayed were as described in the program. They were decent, clean, and most were outside of the city center. The tour buses were spacious and comfortable. The second bus we rode had no seatbelts at all. The places we visited were very interesting. They showed off the rich histories of Mexico. I was the only one who took the tour for the last 2 days. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The tour company messed up the airport transfer at the end of the tour. But I received a refund that exceeded the taxi fare I paid to the airport.
