Central Mexico Tours & Trips

Central Mexico means CDMX museums and street food, Oaxaca markets and mezcal, Puebla's pottery, and Guanajuato's colorful everything. Head to San Miguel for colonial stuff, and Taxco silver. You could experience the Day of Dead if the timing's right. Central Mexico does culture deeper than beach resorts ever could. The food alone justifies going.

Emiliano has been an incredible guide throughout our trip across Mexico. Very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable - he's been kind, patient and overall great fun to be around. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him and his leadership and I know the whole group is really grateful for his time and efforts on the trip. In short, Emiliano is a legend!
