I could have never, in seven days, figured out where all the artisans were and had the same experience. Would highly recommend. Can't wait for my next adventure! ~ Cheryl

I've been traveling to Mexico for more than 20 years, and am comfortable visiting some pretty remote regions on my own, but we really did explore artist homes and studios in pueblos I never would have discovered on my own. ~ Cari M.

Touring with Rene and Troy was just what I wanted – interesting and off the beaten path. ~ Karen D.

Offering art-centric cultural tours to South, Central, and North America. Rene lbarra and Troy Campa both have a passion for art, culture, & travel and exploring the world of art, especially in Latin America, has always been an obsession. In 2016, after many friends repeatedly asked to join the adventures, Troy & Rene took a group of friends to Mexico City to explore the art scene; this was the beginning of their accidental tour company CAMIBAart Tours, In 2020 we re-branded the company Camiba Cultural Tours.

Wonderful trip and the guides and very interesting itinerary! The restaurants chosen were authentic and well thought out! Couldn’t have had better guides!

Traveling with Troy and Renee is a joy. Well arranged, and the small group is so nice. This was our third adventure with Camiba, and we look forward to more.

Trip was fantastic. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Our trip hosts/guides were excellent, well prepared, knowledgeable and thorough. Every day was well planned and highlighted the special attributes of San Miguel.

Thank you for your review.

Our small (6) group quickly became friends and Rene and Troy were wonderful hosts as always. I especially liked the visit to Xilitla and las Pozas -unique places I would never be able to experience on my own or or even with a regular tour company.
