This was a great trip that provided a perfect introduction to Mexico City. Camiba had all travel arranged and restaurant reservations for when we wanted them, so it took away all the anxiety of planning. We visited fabulous art galleries, walked the city and talked with folks. The food was delicious. ~ Julie K
