    I can’t say enough about this tour and especially about Suyen! The impeccable choices that were made to submerge the group into the culture, not just as tourists but as participants was fantastic! Truly a much better understanding of the culture and the holiday! It was also great to have “down” time to follow our noses and do our own exploring!

    Asked on July 5th, 2024

    Your escorted tour form Dia de los Muertos in Oaxaca sounds excellent. However I have concern about the hotels you use as it seems like they are 3 star & get the most negative reviews of your tour. I am especially concerned about the beds & bathrooms which are said to be 'dated' in reviews. Please tell me about the hotels you will be using for 2024 DOD Tour & also whether they & the transport you use are nonsmoking.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • The hotels that we use are rated 3 1/2 to 4 star on these trip and we often use locally owned and operated hotels where possible to enhance the experience for our travellers. As we use private transport on this trip, there would be no smoking allowed on the coaches.
