Words can barely describe how magical this entire trip was! I am a first time Traveler with Tricia and her band of Merry Makers and I couldn't have felt more at home among the group. The accommodations were perfectly located for all of the DOTD celebrations that we participated in. The excursions were perfectly executed by Tricia and the vendors in Oaxaca that she has built a solid relationship with and there was no shortage of fun, learning and laughing! The visit to the Temazcale (sweat lodge) was a highlight for me as was the cooking class with Chef Lalo! The Catrina face painting followed by a photo shoot was so special! The mask making and pan de muerto decorating was something I could only have experienced on this trip! If you are ready to explore parts of the world that tourists don't flock to, become a Traveler with Tricia and make amazing memories like I have!

One of the best trips I've ever taken. It had the perfect balance between organized activities and free time to explore. Tricia, as always, went above and beyond to make sure everyone's needs/wants were met. I would go on this exact same trip again if offered. And I never repeat vacations.

Another fantastic trip with Tricia and Alt Esc. We saw beautiful places, had amazing food, and made new friends. What more could one want?! Next trips are already booked!

Tricia's trips never disappoint! Perfect variety of tours to see Barcelona. A walking city tour, Sagrada Familia & my favorite Montserrat finished off with a beautiful winery. Loved every minute of it & look forward to the next adventure.

This was my first trip with Alt-Esc, my first time traveling with a tour group, my first trip to Spain—and my first time going on a trip where I didn’t know anyone beforehand. And I can confidently say it won’t be the last of any of those things. This experience was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely be going on more trips with Alt-Esc! I found the pricing to be very reasonable, especially considering how many places we visited and the quality of the accommodations. The tour itself was perfectly planned—we saw all the major sights I’ve always wanted to see, and experienced the culture, food, and people more authentically than I ever expected. Our group size was just right, and I genuinely hope the friendships I made will last a lifetime. Tricia is incredibly professional and handled any minor hiccups with ease and grace. (There were no major issues, but as with any trip, small things come up.) Traveling solo for the first time, it gave me great peace of mind knowing she was in charge—I would trust her completely even if something serious ever came up. The fun and joy on this trip never faded for a moment. I’m so grateful for the experience!
