Great Copper Canyon Tour - I went with Dan to the Copper Canyon area for seven days in early March. The trip was very well organized, with a great local guide. After flying... read more from Manzanillo to Los Mochis, we took the very scenic train both in and out of the canyons in what was certainly my nicest train trip ever (great open-air bar car!). It featured amazing views and perhaps would be even better in the summer (more waterfalls in the canyons), when I would like to do this trip again. Other than the train travel (about 4-5 hours each way), we had three full days in the canyon area, including a day with an opportunity to do ziplines around one of the canyons. Intense, but fun! Both food and accommodations (two nights on the edge of a canyon) were truly first class. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. I had a fantastic time.

We viewed it through a glass floor as it rose up from several stories below. The world class anthropology museum introduced the latest research on the ancient history of the people. Breakfast, which was included, offered many tasty choices. The optional evening at the folkloric ballet exceeded my expectations as the finale was emotionally overwhelming. Would love to return on another tour of this fascinating city.

All Aboard the Brand New Mayan Train: Ruins, Flamingos, Chocolate, and Every Vehicle Imaginable!  - We’ve just wrapped up 8 unforgettable days of adventure, history, and a whole lot of modes of transport in Mexico. From exploring the majestic Mayan ruins of Palenque (where the... read more howler monkeys put on a great show) to the colourful charm of Campeche’s walled city, every stop was a new favourite.

We rode the new Tren Maya Train like pros, donned hand-woven jipijapa palm hats with flair, and soaked up the mystery of Uxmal in the Puuc region. We learned that chocolate isn’t just delicious—it’s practically sacred (and we respectfully devoured it). Flamingos showed off their style in Sisal’s lagoons, cenotes gave us magical swims, and Merida dazzled with its haciendas and rich culture.

We traveled by plane, bus, van, train, moto-taxi, horse cart, and boats that looked suspiciously like bathtubs! Add in some truly amazing traditional cuisine, and let’s just say we’re full—in every sense of the word. Would do it all again. Thanks to Dan & Flip Flop Tours for an amazing tour, educational & Cultural tour.

I have been to a small family chocolate plant where they first grow the cacao plants and process it right through to the best chocolate ever. This is all done on a tiny plot of land in a little neighborhood, you would never know the place was there. A day at the ranch will take you right throught the collecting of the milk from the cows to lunch that is made based on the milk collected, fascinating and delicious. A trip to Guadalajara to see Carlos Santana was the best of the best. Our accommodation were grand and we were well greeted as we were with Dan. Dan is well loved wherever we go.
These are just a few of the many eye opening experiences I've enjoyed with Dan. I will be back for more!.
