Oh my my.. what a wonderful tour. Who would have thought you could have a group of 18 folks from their 20’s to 80’s be put together for such a wonderful week. Our tour guide Ivan was top notch. Since he lived in Oaxaca, the personal stories, history and culture he shared with us; gave us a real appreciation of the customs in the area, and the Day of Dead celebration. The accommodations and food were great. The itinerary was amazing. Taking us from the old to the new; learning customs, and age-old traditions. I would highly recommend this tour for a week of adventure, learning and meeting wonderful new people from all over.
