Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Next, your morning continues with a visit to the Zócalo - Mexico City's central square – including the Metropolitan Cathedral (the oldest and largest church in Latin America) and a stop to see Templo Mayor, the ancient Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. Lunch today is at a local restaurant. Tonight, what better way to cap off an incredible day of adventure than with an after-hours visit to the Museum of Anthropology.

6Hands-on lesson in the folk art of alebrije & a cooking school demonstration
After a leisurely morning, your day begins with a visit to a local art studio for a lesson in the folk art of alebrije. Translated to "fantasy" or "imaginary," alebrije are wooden figures designed to look like animals or mythical creatures, traditionally painted in colorful designs and styles. According to a legend, a Mexican artist originated this form of art from dreams he had. You'll have an exciting opportunity to create your own alebrije while at the studio, followed by lunch. Later, you'll have the exciting opportunity to visit the local cooking school of Chef Alejandro Ruiz Olmedo, recognized globally for his Oaxacan cuisine. A live cooking demonstration introduces you to this regional style of cooking, and a family-style dinner offers you with a delectable sampling of authentic Oaxaca gastronomy.

7Family Visit or a visit to Monte Albán
It may be your last day in Mexico, but it's not time to say goodbye yet. What better way to cap off a week of adventures than with a choice of activities. You may spend time with a local family, learning the traditional craft of rug making, including natural dyeing techniques and weaving on a loom, passed down for generations. Alternatively, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Monte Albán, one of the most famous archeological sites in Mexico (as well as one of its hidden gems, literally!). The site was untouched by European explorers until its discovery by a local farmer in the 1930s. Known for its unique carvings or danzantes, many of the sites you'll see here such as its pyramids, terraces, canals and ball courts were all carved out of the nearby mountain. After one last afternoon to explore Oaxaca as you wish, join us tonight for a farewell reception at your hotel followed by dinner at a local restaurant, Casa Oaxaca, run by a familiar face – Chef Alejandro Ruiz Olmedo. Say adios to your fellow travelers as your Mexico aventura comes to a close.
