About this trip
Fifteen days across Mexico, from the Pacific coast at Puerto Vallarta into the heartland cities of Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and San Miguel de Allende, before landing in the sprawl of Mexico City.
This is a trip built around contrast — colonial towns, a vast capital, ancient ruins, and the food-and-market culture of Oaxaca all in one route. You'll cover a lot of ground and a lot of history along the way.
It ends in Oaxaca, where the pace slows down enough to properly work through the local food and taverns before you go home.
What you'll do
- Explore the colonial streets of Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende
- Take in the art, music, and markets of Mexico City
- Visit the ancient Aztec pyramids at Teotihuacan
- Stop in Puebla en route to Oaxaca
- Eat your way through Oaxaca's food scene and local taverns
- A city-hopping trip — you'll change base regularly across the two weeks
- Rated easy, with a fully guided group format throughout
Worth it if you want solid cultural grounding and a capable guide. Think twice if you need flexibility or prime-location accommodation.
- Guides consistently exceptional at pivoting when advertised tours fall through, keeping momentum alive.
- Not all itinerary options available as promised; some accommodation placements suboptimal for city access.
- Genuine cultural and historical learning across hard-to-reach sites most independent travellers miss.
- Pace packed; some felt 15 days rushed for deeper exploration of individual locations.
