Meeting Point
At your hotel
Day 1: Teotihuacan Pyramids
Previous night already payed in your schedule. Early pick up at hotel. Transport in air-con minivan. Admire astonishing pyramids and frescoes 2,000 years old while you listen about this amazing culture often compared with the Egyptians. Dinner at site. Back to enjoy free afternoon in the city.
Day 2: Mexico City's highlights
Transport to main interesting sites. Lovely walkings! Time to stroll along ancient, modern & trendy areas full of culture, shopping and stories...
Day 3: Puebla City and arrival to Oaxaca City
Departure in air-con minivan to Puebla's center to admire beautiful architecture. Lunch. Continue to Oaxaca City. Free evening.
Day 4:Oaxaca City
Enjoy this amazing city including Montealban archaeological site, delicious food and charming streets.
Day 5: Depart to a gorgeous beach on Oaxaca State's coast!
We will drive across a beautiful mountain range sometimes at an altitude of almost 3,000 meters with exceptional views and changes in nature, arriving at the coast at mid day so you still will have plenty of time to accomodate at your hotel and go for a swim at the ocean, enjoy food, sun and relax, relax, relax!
Day 6: Beach!
Plenty of things to do or... not to do! You can just relax and watch the sunrise, the kissing beaches (because two beaches are joined by a beautiful geography), swim a bit and get that tan or... you can wake up early, go jogging, have your breakfast and explore nearby beaches!
Day 7: Beach!
This is your "basecamp" from where you can do as much as you like, from relaxing to visiting nearby beaches, exploring famous Punta Cometa, a rocky formation that ends in the sea and that divides astonishing swimmable beaches with almost no people. Also you can explore different front beach restaurants & bars for sipping a drink and taste Mexican or International cuisine.
Day 8: Beach!
Besides the wonderful alternatives of almost empty nearby beaches, excelent food and great landscapes, you could take a boat for snorkeling, whale watching (on season) or just admire the coast from the sea. There are also tours for visiting a crocodile farm, waterfalls and do jungle treks. All of this extra tours are not included but don't worry, we know the people there and can arrange quite affordable prices for you!
Day 9: Depart to a beautiful open sea beach where we can see the night sky as in a movie! Or to Acapulco.
Time to enjoy your breakfast and board our minivan heading for a great open sea beach where you can not swim. Instead you can walk along and see a lot of marine birds,admire big waves and at night watch the stars as probably you have never seen them before (of course, provided it's not cloudy!) Anyway, the feeling of being at this place is a unique experience also because of the sounds of the nearby jungle. But don't worry about all this naturness, you'll sleep at a very cozy hotel with great service and food!
Day 10: Depart to Taxco Magical Town
Arrive at this world famous spot between mountains, where cobbled stone streets, colonial architecture and world class handicrafts await for you. Time to stroll thorugh town and enjoy food & scenery.
Day 11: Depart to Mexico City
Return to Mexico City. We can depart around 12 o'clock so you can have time for that last photo shooting, shopping, wake up a bit later and take it easy. Mexico City is only 2.5 hours away and we'll arrive with enough time for you to accomodate at your cozy hotel (same one as you had on your first night) This is where/when your Golden Circle Tour finishes and you have this night already payed

Reviews
“Tailored one day highlights in a leisurely/relaxed pace! ”
Rafael is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable about the city, its history, museums, points of interests, etc. He can give you as much, or as little information you want to take in about the city. He is very adaptable to how people want their experience to go with this tour, which is something we really liked. First off, we enjoyed the experience of public transit (bus, metro/train) during this tour. Although there was an itinerary, it was flexible and depended on what our interests were. We were even able to sit at a café to enjoy coffee, conversation, architecture, and singing, at a pace that were suited for us. We were still able to hit up all the spots that were mentioned in the itinerary but what we loved about this tour with Rafael was that we were able to do it leisurely, stress-free, and with someone who knew this city. Thank you, Rafael, for an amazing experience! We'll be sure to hit you up when we come back with our family and friends!
