What our community says

AMAZING OAXACA TOUR! I would not have seen Oaxaca this way if I did not join this tour. Everything was perfect and there was a lot of food. I also loved our hotel room and I felt safe with Trisha. Thanks to all the locals we met! We will come back for sure!

First of all, there are no other tours like this in Oaxaca. We were so involved in the local community and that is a value I will never find in other overpriced Oaxaca tour. If you want authenticity, Trisha is the best person to travel to Oaxaca with!

I have joined many of Trisha's trips not just in Mexico but also in Sri Lanka and Morocco. She really does have a way with people and for showing a culture for what it really is. The itinerary is unique and you won't find this anywhere else. Thank you to everyone who were very helpful during the trip! I promise to come back.
