I had a blast! It is a great way to see Mexico given the fact that my Spanish is very limited. The tour itself is a great mix of historical sites, culture and local life. The Teotihuacan Pyramids was amazing! Cuernavaca is a very laid back city full of life. As a single female traveler, I felt totally safe with the company of my guide. He is really informative and friendly. Highly recommend this trip to whoever visit Mexico for the first time!
