Jorge CURIEL FLORES

My hustand and I decided at the last minute to make a trip to central Mexico - something he's wanted to do for a long time, but neither of us speaks Spanish and we were a bit uncomfortalbe about making this trip solo.  It was also the first time we used a tour guide for an entire trip. THE BEST THING WE EVER DID WAS SIGN UP FOR  9 PRIVATE TOUR DAYS WITH JORGE. The service and the expertise was absolutely amazing from the minute we hit the ground in Guadalajara to the moment we were deposited at our exit hotel.  And, we felt safe and supported throughout our travels.

The level of knowledge about the history, culture, architecture, geography and art blew us away!  We spent our days engrossed in the beauty of the area and our evenings discussing; what we'd learned. Our days were tailored to our needs and interest and flexible enough to allow us to make changes on the fly. Our car was comfortable, clean (every day) and the door opened for us at every stop. We went to places off the beaten path and met some extraordinary artisans. We even had a chance to calmly discuss the current socio-political situation in both of our countries and gain valuable insight. 

The only downside to our trip due to no fault of Jorge's, is that we both got sick due to our own carelessness... don't have ice in your beverages even if you're in a high end hotel!  That being said, we were able to adjust our schedulewithout any hesitation to deal with the stomach issues.

The icing on the cake was returning home and having a discussion with a family of 4 that went to the same area the following week. They were amazed at how much we did and saw - triple their schedule! I would most definitely recommend Jorge and thank him for arranging such a wonderful trip for us. What a wonderful way to begin our 40th anniversary travels. :)
