- ADaphne· May 17th, 2019It was a great trip - much better that I expected, despite the average age being in their 70's. Victor was the star of the trip making it interesting and busy. We were late everywhere - but it just didn't matter!! The food element made sure we all had a common interest and Victor was really flew the flag for Mexican food and traditions. Overall, my lasting memory will be the colour - everything was viberant and so colourful - I will certainly be going back one day.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewMany thanks for your lovely feedback. Victor is a great ambassador for Mexico, and I'm glad to hear that he gave you the taste for more!Trip date: November 2018
