What people are saying about Central Mexico

What a fantastic day, full of experiences and beautiful places. Ede, the guide, is one of the best guides I’ve ever had, and she organized the trip so well. It was a long day but without a single minute that was boring. We learned so much and saw so much attractions and places around Oaxaca. Each stop in this tour was enjoyable. Warmly recommended!

This was the best experience I had during my visit to CDMX. I love that they pick you up from your location. I registered separately from my group, but they still managed to put us all together. The ride was smooth and the views were wonderful.

Great tour. Snorkeling was very good. We stopped three times to swim. The best snorkeling stop was near Playa Maguey The water is so clear. We saw a couple turtles and a spotted eagle stingray.

Albert was the most amazing guide ever. It was almost a private tour (only 2people) and everything was taking care of. The hike is physical but definetely worthy.

Un supplément de 9€50 nous a été demandé à l’entrée des jardins !?

This event is so worth going to see. Interesting and amazing
