Firstly, our tour guide Val was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and organised. The ruins we visited were amazing with so much history and intrigue; the meals we ate with local families gave an insight into the real Mexico and not just coastal resorts. Food was great but remember the food is authentic, don't expect the western version, it was so refreshing. The cities and towns we visited had a charm and warmth that match that of the locals, we never felt unsafe and enjoyed the whole experience.
