5.00We enjoyed learning about the history of PV and about how the Mexican culture reveres their deceased family. We saw new (new to us) areas of the city and enjoyed the local mercado. I also loved learning about the flowers and trees. The murals are truly works of art. Loved it!

5.00Jimmy's team are amazing, insightful and extremely accommodating. We were met at our start point on time and the staff at La Chula were welcoming. The history of Dia de los Muertos was well explained and helpful before our walk to the cemetery and church of Santo Muertos. A couple shots of tequila with the other participants was a Buenos way to start too!
