If you have any hesitation Sal is the guy you will want to guide you through. Every step of the way he effortlessly managed everything while spending a lot of his time with us, laughing, joking, and really bringing Mexico to life. But let me tell you, Sal may have technically been our CEO, but in reality he has been our friend. Whatever we wanted to do, Sal made it happen. Heâ?s a friendly, charismatic, reliable person who will bend over backwards to ensure that your trip goes smoothly, as planned, with a minimum amount of worry on your part. He is truly passionate about his home country, itâ?s people, and itâ?s culture. In our case we were blessed with Salvador, aka Sal.
The second part is your CEO, who is helping running the show. We did have some people opt out of things here and there or venture on their own but overall we worked collectively to get the most out of our trip. We got along fantastically, we had an indescribable amount of fun, awe, wonder, and laughter! The people you are with really make the difference. Iâ?m my case I had 15 amazing traveling companions, we were all fairly like minded in our thirst for adventure and trying to maximize our experience and see/do everything we could. I can easily boil this down into two categories, first your random new companions. Really what it boils down to is the people. The optional activities are most definitely worth it. You most definitely see everything on the itinerary barring extenuating circumstances. Well let me lay out my two cents while I wait for my flight home. So, youâ?re considering pulling the trigger on a trip to Mexico, and youâ?ve come to see what other people have to say.
