What our customers say about us
Testimonials
Our customers, who participated in our caravans, testify!
These are customer interviews that were conducted by Kevin & Ruth Read (travelwithkevinandruth.com). They were relief Wagon Masters for Paul Beddows & Roberta Laakmann on this particular caravan, and they have also led a Yucatan Caravan for us.
What prompted you to do this caravan?
I had previously visited Baja California in my van, but I wanted to see the mainland of Mexico, and I was concerned about safety traveling alone. That concern has been alleviated.
– Danielle
Despite the fact that we’ve done a lot of traveling alone, we wanted to try something new. We’re also getting a little older, and wanted the security and safety in numbers that a caravan offers.
– Stan and Colleen
We had been planning a Copper Canyon trip for many years.The opportunity to join up with an RV caravan appealed to us as first timers RV’ing in Mexico.
– Larry and Anne
We had been at an RV show in Abbotsford, British Colombia and seen the booth where they were advertising the tour. We had also met someone who had done one of these RV caravans, and we decided that we wanted to see Mexico as part of a safe and escorted trip.
– Bob and Betty
John (60) and Janice (59) have spent a lot of time in Florida escaping the cold Canadian winter, but they feel that the weather there is not as consistent as they would like it to be. So, they figured they might find something better travelling in Mexico.
– John and Janice
We think that RV caravan travel gives you the opportunity to see and do things that you wouldn’t normally be able to see. And, we learned that we love traveling with the group and have a lot of fun with them.
– Paul and Fran
Initially, we were looking at visiting Mexico’s Copper Canyon. Researching that led us to blogs and testimonials about Caravanas de Mexico. With retirement approaching, we decided that three months in Mexico sounded like a pretty good idea!
– Randy and Debbie
What are your impressions of the caravan?
This is my first caravan, and it exceeded my expectations. I have seen places that I would have never seen on my own.
– Danielle
We love the day trip and bus tours, and also the dinners and lunches out that were included in the price. The only downside in our opinion was a little lack of planning when the tours were organized on back to back days.
– Stan and Colleen
This is our first time with a caravan. The people we have met and the tours we have taken far surpass our expectations.
– Larry and Anne
It has been a pleasure to travel with people of like minds who enjoy experiencing a real insight to Mexican history and it’s culture.
– Bob and Betty
It’s fun having the comeraderie of the group, but it’s not as much beach time as we would have liked. We knew ahead of time that we would be spending quite a lot of time in the higher altitudes where it’s cooler, but we think we would like to spend more time where it’s warmer in future trips. It was great traveling with the Green Angels and the feeling of security that affords if you happen to have mechanical problems on the road.
– John and Janice
Great way to travel and learn about the network of roads in Mexico.
– Paul and Fran
Very well led and organized. It’s given us opportunities to experience Mexico fully, and beyond what we could have managed any other way.
– Randy and Debbie
What are your impressions of Mexico?
I love Mexico, especially the people and the easy going, friendly lifestyle.
– Danielle
We love Mexico! It’s beautiful, and we love the friendly people and colorful towns.
– Stan and Colleen
Since our past visits have only been to resorts along the coast, we are amazed at the beauty of areas of the country we would not have otherwise seen.
– Larry and Anne
A beautiful country with a rich history. The people have been so friendly and accommodating wherever we go. There is a great deal of litter though!
– Bob and Betty
We love the friendly people and the great food!
– John and Janice
We love Mexico, the people, their culture, the food, and the diverse landscape and terrain.
– Paul and Fran
The food, the weather, the landscape, the people, the culture, the history…it’s all superb, rich, and beautiful and beyond our expectations.
– Randy and Debbie
Have you felt safe travelling around Mexico?
Yes!!!
– Danielle
Yes – absolutely.
– Stan and Colleen
Absolutely!
– Larry and Anne
Absolutely. The Green Angels were more than helpful when they accompanied us.
– Bob and Betty
Yes.
– John and Janice
We have always felt safe in Mexico. We do not put ourselves in an unsafe environment.
– Paul and Fran
At the beginning of the trip we were a little concerned, but now we’re at the point where we don’t even think about it. We have not had a single moment of discomfort. And rather than threats, we see smiling, welcoming faces.
– Randy and Debbie
What has been your favorite experience, or highlight of the trip?
The night walk with the wandering minstrels around Guanajuato.
– Danielle
Doing the longest zip line in the world at the Copper Canyon. Also meeting Zorro in El Fuerte, and of course all of the wonderful new friends in the caravan.
– Stan and Colleen
The Copper Canyon Tour.
– Larry and Anne
Bob – Zipline at the Copper Canyon. Fishing in Mazatlan. Walks in Patzcuaro, and supper at the artists home. Also loved happy hours with the group! And the night walk in Guanajuato and the beach at Teacapan.
Betty – Overall, meeting the local people in the markets and freely strolling around the towns. Also, I loved the scenery in Mazamitla.
– Bob and Betty
The Copper Canyon trip. Oh, and the trip up into the mountains of Jalisco to visit the mescal distillery was the most authentic Mexican experience ever!
– John and Janice
It is hard to pick just one…or two or three!
– The mescal town in the mountains
– The drive from Mazatlan to Durango
– Dinner at Jacob Domingues home near Cuitzeo was very memorable.
– Paul and Fran
Perhaps the access to some phenomenal, knowledgable tour guides who shared so much with us. Reviewing our itinerary, we couldn’t possibly pick a favourite…every day seems to present surprising highlights.
– Randy and Debbie
Would you return to travel by yourself or with another caravan?
I will return by myself, and possibly with another caravan
– Danielle
Both!
– Stan and Colleen
Yes, probably with another caravan.
– Larry and Anne
The answer is yes to both.
The caravan has opened up the many sides of Mexico. The knowledgeable guides and wagon masters all added to an understanding of old Mexico. Beaches and condos are such a small part. We prefer the high country of Mazamitla and Guanajuato, but a mixture of months is probably the way to go.
– Bob and Betty
Probably with another caravan, but not this particular route. Prefer warmer climate.
– John and Janice
We would return by ourselves or with others traveling to the same destinations. A caravan to a different area would also be an option for us.
– Paul and Fran
We’re already planning on returning next year and probably for many years to come.
We’re signing up for Spanish classes when we get home!
