Such an amazing tour. You dont get to br with one group from start to finish but will meet a different group each day and the same group in the Amazon. The quality of the hotels and tours was A+. Benjiman (tour coordinator) was communicating routinely to and always available to answer any questions. Everything was very well organized from pick ups to drop offs. This was an amazing experience and i look forward to booking more tours with this company. Highly recommend!Show more

Well organized, enjoyable tour. Mexico City is worth visiting; lots of things to see, lots of history, lots of great restaurants. We went during World Cup so paid a surcharge which we thought shoukd have been part of the advertised price since it was known well in advance. Our hotel was disappointing in the beginning but we were upgraded into a larger and better room thanks to the work of our assigned customer service agent. In the future I would insist on knowing what hotel was assigned to us before committing to the tour.Show more
