Testimonials
“This trip made me think. The way Mexicans perceive death is so different compare to my country, Greece. This deep understanding of the culture wouldn’t be possible without Tasos’ approach to the trip. Learning through the locals made everything stick with me. Also, while I was traveling outside of Europe for the first time, and more so in Mexico that doesn’t have the best reputation, at no point during the trip did I feel unsafe – Tasos did an incredible job taking all the stress away from us and let us live the true essence of the experience.”.
– Nikos, Mexico 2023
“It was an unforgettable experience, I still reminisce about this trip. The warmth of the people and their energy was amazing. We ate perfect street tacos that made you lick your fingers. Tasos had organized a very strong itinerary with activities that helped us experience the places and people like locals.”.
– Elisavet, Mexico 2023
“A lifetime experience! Tasos knows Mexico as a local and the trip with him was truly amazing! I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot about the “Day of the Dead” and Mexicans’ local culture due to his incredibly well organized trip. I highly recommend to travel with him!”
