    This tour was packed full of activities, experiences, and travel to different places I never would have seen or done if I traveled here by myself. Mexico was absolutely beautiful and learning about the different cultures and ways of life is something I’ll never forget. My group leader Ceci was so proud to share her country with us and she made the trip what it was. She’s was the best, hands down. Ceci kept us informed, supported, and entertained, and she instantly made it feel like we were traveling with a friend instead of a tour guide. I loved our little family so much and the surprises along the way. I will definitely book another trip with Intro, especially if Ceci is the group leader!!!!
