The trip was such an immersive experience that gave us the opportunity to meet generous people who opened their homes and places of business to us. I loved the hands-on experiences - making our own lithograph prints, painting our own alebrijes, helping to make mole and other traditional meals, and participating first-hand in altar decorating. Dilan was an incredible tour guide with tons of knowledge, energy and connections that made each visit personal and meaningful. Our native tour guide, Victor, was also incredibly knowledgable and came with a different perspective to appreciate. Oaxaca is a magical place with rich culture, history, art, food, mezcal and people.

This was such an incredibly special experience for me. I lost my father in 2009, and after losing my mother earlier this year, I wanted to connect with our Mexican culture. Dia de Los Muertos is full of such beautiful traditions I never knew about. It was the perfect way to honor my lost loved ones. The group is full of diverse people who come together through our love of Mexico. The excursions are filled with beautiful landscapes, natural treasures, archeological sites and skilled artisans. I can’t recommend this trip enough!

Heart of Travel is the best for magical and ethical vacations! Chelsea and her incredible team first won me over in Guatemala in 2023 as they planned a beautiful trip that allowed us to see and experience so many different places, people, and things. A helicopter ride, a volcano hike, spa day, meeting the most badass Mayan weaver!!, a once-in a lifetime sunset tour in Tikal - done. I'm still trying to get over this trip lol. They knocked it out of the park again in Cuba for NYE! Chelsea and the spectacular Paloma had us dancing multiple nights away, eating the BEST food, and seeing ALL the sights while also giving us ample opportunity to support the Cuban people and educating us on why that is so important. You will leave their trips with new memories, new friends, and possibly, some new perspectives. Do it!!!

Words can’t begin to express the way this trip impacted me! Every single person we met was so amazing, so kind, and truly opened their hearts and lives to us! Cuba, you have left an undeniable mark on my soul… Your people, your colors, your food, your history… Thank you for sharing this world with us! Cannot wait for our next trip! We love you 🥰

I just returned from a two week trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. The trip was an incredible balance of learning, discovery, and recreation. Both the local guides and the Heart of Travel coordinator, Chiva, were excellent!!! The accommodations, food, and itinerary were fantastic. I will definitely travel with Heart of Travel again.
