    Great experience touring colonial towns. We learnt a lot of history, met great people in the tour and experimented with very flavorful dishes. Kudos to our tour guide Sal and driver Jorge.

    Driver was very good. Vehicle was good. Group size was good. Guide was nice, accommodating and knew Mexican history but seemed to have little knowledge of other topics such as Mexican economics, culture, topography, flora and fauna, museums, etc. The trip length is too short for the itinerary. Lots of prime time on the highway with only a few hours to see the sights on many days. Hotels were fine. Tourist class but clean and mostly centrally located except in San Miguel de Allende where the hotel was charming but quite a ways from the center. The itinerary that was sent before the start of the trip was incorrect so there was some disappointment about that from the group. Better planning and preparation would be good.

    This tour from Vibe Adventures was excellent overall. The best part was our guide, Fabio and driver, Jorge. Both were professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the tour. Suggestions to improve the tour would be to plan a two-night stop in one place around day 5 so it's possible to do laundry. Thank you for an outstanding trip.

    Last month my husband and I travelled to Mexico and we had a great experience! We visited many states in Central Mexico and each one was different, stunning and unique. But definitely our guide Sal was truly amazing and very friendly to us. Next time I will travel again with Vibe Adventures without any doubt.

    Sal was great. He knew the sites well and good places to eat, etc. Would have been nice to have local guides do some of the walking tours.

    Our guide, Salvador Cordova, was an excellent person who was dedicated to a wonderful experience on the tour. He was well informed about facts on historical places on the Mexico: Colonial Heritage Tour. We adored him, and if he didn't know information, he informed himself with humility while we traveled. This was the first time he led this tour, as he learned about how to make the trip work for us. Overall, the trip to central Mexico was an incredible experience with art, architecture, religions, culture, and history that really was impressive.
