What people love about Pacific Coast Mexico Tours
- Viva Mexico
I just finished my trip with INTRO Travel and their brand new trip in Mexico. The tour is beautifully run and really covers all that Mexico has to offer from cities, beaches, canyons, gorgeous towns and ancient Mayan ruins. It taught me so much about the culture of the regions I was visiting from meeting friendly locals and sampling Mezcal and watching traditional dances. It was a perfect blend of excitement, adventure travel, cultural exchanges and a few nights out bonding with the group thrown in for good measure! Value for money was great as we covered a lot of places in 13 days but it didn't feel rushed at all, and did so much more than I ever could have managed on my own. Most importantly I felt safe and secure the whole time I was there with expert knowledge and guidance from our Group Leader and local guides. Muchas Gracias INTRO Travel!
- Journeys: Mexico's Day of the Dead in Oaxaca National Geographic Journeys
Excellent trip! Appreciated the choices of activities to do each day. The hotel where we stayed was centrally located and quite nice. It was noisy. This tour was very well organized and was a great way to experience the day of the dead celebrations.
I was able to join Lupita’s "Genuine Mexico, Day of the Dead Edition” from Mexico City to Oaxaca in October 2023. Jaime graciously allowed me to join the group because I was unable to fully participate in the first week of my "Wonders of Mexico" trip in Spring 2023 due to my knee injury. Because the "Day of the Dead" trip was fully booked, Jaime made special arrangement for my husband and I to stay in the group hotel and participate in group activities. I am a graduate of ITMI (The International Tour Management Institute in California, USA). I graduated from their in-person 4 week course as a Certified Tour Director in 1982. It is from the perspective of that training that I write this review. Most tours can drive you to the various sites and deliver you to a hotel. The dirty little secret about group travel is the power of the Tour Director to make or break a trip.Blindness to human nature, the inability to “read” the group, can kill a trip. Only very special leaders can work their magic on a group of strangers and and watch them depart the trip as true friends. I know a good Tour Director when I see one. Jaime is one of those very special leaders. Lupita Overland is the embodiment Jaime’s vision. What sets Lupita apart is Jaime's keen awareness of how groups function. This understanding gives Jaime the uncanny ability to bring out the best in everyone who participates—passengers, crew, hotel staff, local guides. His even temper and good humor is appreciated by everyone. The end result is a cohesive group which functions well and where everyone has fun. My "Wonders of Mexico" trip in Spring 2023 was fabulous. I watched Jaime quickly knit our group together into a fun-loving, cohesive whole. I have been a passenger on more more than 15 long haul overland adventures….with Trailfinders, Guerba, Exodus, Dragoman and Intrepid. I have travelled as a passenger with Abercrombie & Kent, Windstar Cruises, and with some of the best ground operators around the world on private tours. Against all of these, Lupita’s “ Day of the Dead October 2023 ” stands as one of the best group experiences I have ever had. Well done!
