View on Google MapsThis was an amazing day! Starting with Maurizio our guide giving us details on what we would be experiencing along the way. We had the great privilege to listen to Leal, who shared her life story and the incredible bead work she creates that allows her to support her family of three. Next we met Andres, a woodworker that creates beautiful wood pieces from wood he collects, shapes, finishes and then sells mainly tourists on the beach. This all is done in a small backyard tent area using rudimentary tools. Finally we capped off the day with a terrific lunch in the home of a couple who cooked and served a traditional meal. Our group of nine provided a little help as we made two delicious salsas. The tour was a wonderful experience made even better by our leader Maurizio who effortlessly managed translating for those of us non Spanish speakers. His enthusiasm for the work being done merging cultures is infectious. And the love he has for the history of Mexico broadened our understanding of the diversity of this country and the beauty of it.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Mauricio, and the artisans we visited. We learned so much about Mexico’s story and how people live and work here and their stories of how they came to this part of Mexico from their hometowns. Meeting them in their homes and seeing their workshops and getting to know them were priceless. I know the gift this was of getting away from the tourist areas and the beach and actually seeing the faces and learning the names and stories of these artisans who may have been selling their wares on the beach or in their shops where I’ve been. Lunch was delicious fish tacos, homemade salsa and agua fresca in the home of proud cooks. This was my third tour with Human Connections and I highly recommend this group and their work! Travel is all about human connections, after all, in addition to seeing beauty and enjoying new experiences.

This was a very interesting cultural experience. We visited an artisan who made wooden utensils and it is very interesting to see how he lived and how he made the utensils. We then went to a weaver’s house who explained about the process and how he made some blankets. Our final destination was a person‘s home in which she served us an outstanding meal of chicken mole. We learned about each person‘s lives and what they were involved in. Claudia and Mauricio were fantastic tour hosts. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone interested in a cultural experience in Bucerias.
We went on a private shorter cultural tour during our company retreat for our creative agency and had an amazing time. Maurizio was an incredible guide and host and brought us to two different artisan's homes where we learned so much about the history of arts, crafts, and more from the region and beyond. So inspiring and engaging and really appreciate the care and intentionality that Human Connections puts into their work
This tour was amazing and gave us real culture insights into the local people of Bucerías. We learned about their crafts, history, culture and their families. It was a unique experience to visit the families in their home environment. Mauricio was a wonderful host very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend this tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Mauricio, was very knowledgeable and translated everything so we could understand. Leo and Andres were very interesting and their work is beautiful. The lunch was excellent too!
This was an inspirational experience. Connecting to the artisans on a very personal level, hearing about their lives. Our guides were excellent.
Excellent tour we would highly recommend for all! Mauricio is a wonderful, very knowledgeable tour host. The experience of meeting the individuals in their homes, hearing their stories, and seeing there skills was so informative, interesting, and a delight.
This is our third time to take a Human Connections tour. Obviously, we think this is well worth the time and highly recommend it to travelers of all ages. You will never see local vendors in the same light because you will gain insight into their struggles and their persistence in overcoming adversity. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful in translating. For sure, we will go on another tour next year!
This was far the best cultural tour that I've been on. Maurico, our tour guide was so personable and has a great wealth of knowledge of Mexican culture and history. The family businesses we visited were so interesting and we ended the day with the most authentic and delicious Mexican lunch. There was no pressure to buy from the artisans as they are paid well by Human Connections. As a result this tour was elevated to a relaxed genuine and engaging experience. This tour company truly amplifies the human connections through these artisans stories. I plan to take in all of their day tours. Cynthia Winnipeg, Canada
