Janette

Guided trip
Join me in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and one of my personal favorites - Mexico City! Mexico City has so so much to offer, so this trip is going to be jam-packed full of activities and adventures, and of course... FOOD. With a little bit of culture, architecture, entertainment, nature, history, and adventure all rolled into one, this trip will highlight the best of Mexico City, with your host (me!) and local guides every step of the way. If you've ever dreamt of visiting Mexico or Mexico City, now is your chance to join a group of other fun travelers just like you, meet new people, experience a new culture, and have a tried and true itinerary ready for you, with minimal planning on your part (I mean, you do have to pack your own suitcase!). My name's Janette and I’m a digital nomad and perpetual wanderer. I’ve been living and working around the globe for over 10 years. I’ve traveled to 35 countries and lived on 4 different continents. I love sharing my travel stories through my writing and my YouTube channel. What’s included: • Accommodation - Shared accommodation with myself and other travelers on the trip • Local Transportation - Airport transfers, all local transportation to and from attractions, tours • Some meals - Included meals will be mentioned on the itinerary • All entry fees - Entrance and tickets to all events, museums, and attractions • Hot air balloon - We'll all take a hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacan! • Boat tour - The Xochimilco boat along the ancient canals • Host and local guides - Many of our tours will have a local guide, and of course me, your host! • A good time! Not included: • International Flights - You are responsible for getting yourself to and from Mexico City (But of course I can help you with booking and flight tips!) • Some meals - Meals that are not marked as "included" in the itinerary • Drinks - Aside from the welcome drink and tequila tasting, I will not be covering your bar tab :P • Travel insurance - I STRONGLY encourage you to get travel insurance (I can help you out with this as well). Free insurance for German and Austrian residents • Souvenirs - Bring some extra cash for souvenirs and shopping! Have a look at the itinerary below! I have plenty of suggestions for anyone arriving earlier, and also for those wanting to extend their stay (I wouldn't blame you!).

Trip Itinerary
1

Mexico City

Day 1-2
Arrival Day! Today we will be arriving in Mexico City (MEX). I will arrange your airport transfers (make sure to give me flight information as soon as possible!). *If you would like to arrive a few days earlier, or stay a few days after, I can help you with arrangements and give you some suggestions! In the evening we will have a meet and greet, welcome drinks (one included) and taco tasting! (included)
2

Zócalo

Day 2-3
Day 2: Zocalo and Bosque de Chapultepec Buckle up because we've got a long day of exploring to do! In the morning, we will head to the Zocalo, or main square, which was also the main square for the ancient city of Tenochtitlan! We'll see the Metropolitan Cathedral, National Palace, Templo Mayor, and if we're lucky we can see some shamans or Mexica dancers putting on a performance. We'll stop for lunch at a rooftop terrace (not included) with a beautiful view of both the Zocalo, and the Centro Historico. We'll continue our walking tour towards Bellas Artes (the Fine Arts Palace) stopping at a few spots along the way, then head up to a secret spot (one of my favorite views in the city). Next we'll check out the Bosque de Chapultepec, where we can see a castle, stroll through the jacaranda trees along the lake, and visit the Anthropology Museum.
3

San Juan Teotihuacán

Day 3-4
Day 3: Teotihuacan Pyramids and Hot Air Balloon I hope you got some sleep because today we'll be going to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan at sunrise for an incredible view of this archeological site by HOT AIR BALLOON! It will be an early one, but it will be worth it! Transport, breakfast, hot air balloon, and tour guide are all included. After seeing the pyramids, we'll go by ATV to some nearby caves, and then we'll have lunch at the famous Grotto Restaurant before heading back to Mexico City. The afternoon is for resting (or activities of your choice!) because in the evening we'll be heading out to Lucha Libre for some Mexican wrestling!
4

Coyoacán

Day 4-5
Day 4: Coyoacan, Frida Kahlo, and Xochimilco Today we'll head to the neighborhood of Coyoacan. We'll visit the Blue House where Frida Kahlo lived, then have a ride on a trajinera along the canals of Xochimilco. This is a three-hour boat ride, and there will be music, mariachis, drinks, and lots of shenanigans (all included). If we are all in top form, we have the option of going to the Exotic Meat Market in the evening, or having dinner of your choosing, and more shenanigans (why not, it's the last night!).

Mexico City

Day 5
Day 5: Farewell Brunch The trip has come to an end, but it's never goodbye, only "see you later." And we have a farewell brunch to send you off properly (included). I will arrange your airport transfers according to your flight times. I have plenty of suggestions for anyone staying later in the day, and also for those wanting to extend their stay (I wouldn't blame you!).
