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.

I did the 2-week Viva Mexico tour with Ceci as my guide. Fourteen other people were on the tour and they became friends I know I’ll remember forever. The first week was a perfect mixture of fascinating culture, beautiful landscapes, and delicious food. The second week was more relaxed. We swam in amazingly blue water and watched the sun set together. As a leader, Ceci was equally responsible and passionate. She took care of us like we were family and danced with us like there was no tomorrow. :)
Viva MexicoThe tour drive was safe and the tour guides were excellent. The tours were on time. The guide Mr. Peval was knowledgeable and professional. We did not appreciate the threatening, lying and un-coordinated behavior of Mexitours co- ordinators causing us to miss a planned tour.
Wonderful MexicoPerfect itinerary. Our guide, Karla was bubbling with enthusiasm. Hotels were great.
