My husband and I joined the Mountain Gurus Pico de Orizaba Express trip and had a GREAT experience with them. We do alot of hiking/traveling but always solo so this was our first experience with a group trip. I'd have to say if they are all mostly like this, we will do it again. The itinerary was well planned and executed. We loved our guide Terray - he did a great job of communicating and providing the right amount of info at the time it was needed and without overwhelming us. He was professional and confident and truly cared about each of us. The Mexican guides were also great...helpful, patient, and very friendly. Accommodations and food were well above what we were expecting - to include the two nights at base camp! Really wonderful experience all around.
