Oaxaca, Mexico City & Teotihuacan, San Miguel de Allende

This private Mexico tour is an ideal combination of incredible culture, top regional cuisine, beautiful countryside, atmospheric colonial towns and major archaeological sites, including Teotihuacan. It includes private touring, luxury hotels, and customized activities such as a cooking lesson and visits to crafts villages.

Begin in Oaxaca, one of Mexico's best destinations for food and traditional arts. During private touring, explore the colonial center of Oaxaca—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—including the zocalo (main square), cathedral, food markets and folk art shops. See the ornate interiors of the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, browse contemporary art galleries, visit the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca or perhaps explore the Ethnobotanical Garden. One day, visit Monte Alban, a UNESCO-listed archaeological site with stone temples and great views over the region. Also visit other nearby sites such as the archaeological ruins of Mitla, indigenous markets or craft villages specializing in woven textiles, pottery and wood carvings. Another day, enjoy a private cooking lesson to learn to prepare local dishes, such as one of the several mole dishes Oaxaca is famous for. Enjoy a colorful Guelaguetza performance of traditional song and dance one evening. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities such as chocolate tastings or excursions to additional craft villages.

Fly to Mexico City, the sophisticated and vibrant capital of Mexico. Your expert guide and private driver will show you the very best of the city. See the highlights of the zocalo including the cathedral, the Templo Mayor and Diego Rivera's murals in the National Palace. Visit renowned museums such as the National Museum of Anthropology, Museo Frida Kahlo, the Museum of Popular Art, and Museo Dolores Olmedo. Browse boutiques, art galleries and architectural highlights in favorite neighborhoods such as Polanco, Roma, San Angel and Coyoacan. In Xochimilco, enjoy a private canal cruise through the floating gardens. One evening, attend a performance of the Ballet Folklorico. Throughout your touring, see colorful markets, vibrant murals, and beautiful colonial and contemporary architecture. If desired, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities such as food-focused touring, visits to gardens and private homes, or touring with an art and design expert.

Next, visit the impressive stone pyramids and other archaeological ruins at Teotihuacan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to enchanting San Miguel de Allende, where cobblestone backstreets are lined with colorful colonial architecture, historic churches, galleries and crafts shops. During private touring, visit churches such as the neo-Gothic La Parroquia, Churrigueresque Templo de San Francisco and Baroque Oratorio de San Felipe Neri; stroll through the popular main square, known as El Jardin; and see historic mansions such as the House of the Inquisitor. Visit El Charco del Ingenio, a beautiful botanical garden; Fabrica la Aurora, a former factory that's now filled with shops, galleries and artists' studios; and the Sanctuary of Atotonilco, with its UNESCO-protected murals. If your timing is right, also visit the weekly El Tianguis food market. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange activities such as private cooking lessons, spa appointments, excursions to nearby towns like Guanajuato and Dolores Hidalgo, or visits to local vineyards.
