About the Tour

Get outta town! Go beyond the usual tourist bus experience on this tour that will literally take you out of Mexico City to see Teotihuacan pyramids, try local "delights" like cactus candy, sip on ancient pre-Hispanic brews, and dine with a local family in their own home. Best part: you’ll be supporting local family businesses, to really give you an itinerary worth bragging about.
