Boutique Journeys: Inspired Tours to Authentic Destinations

(April 15, 2007) - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico- Journey Mexico (www.journeymexico.com) announces their newest partnership with Mexico Boutique Hotels (www.mexicoboutiquehotels.com). 

For some, the word “tour” is a turn-off, conjuring up images of colorful t-shirts, megaphones and all-inclusive buffet lines. Mexico Boutique Hotels and Journey Mexico—both trusted experts in the luxury travel industry—have taken that concept and turned it on its head. Their joint venture, Boutique Journeys, is a collection of inspired travels that allow discerning travelers to experience the best of Mexico in style and comfort.

Through this important new alliance, Mexico Boutique Hotels offers its faithful clients a way to explore a region rather than just one destination by connecting off the beaten path destinations and properties with the seamless service of expert guides, comfortable and dependable transportation and exclusive interaction with the intriguing and captivating cultures of Mexico!. “Through this partnership with Journey Mexico—well-known purveyors of unique cultural and wilderness tours throughout this fascinating country—we’re adding another level of service for our clients,” said John Youden, General Director of Mexico Boutique Hotels. “Now our guesrts will be able to experience the real Mexico through our unique lodgings and privately guided visits to neighboring destinations—all the while cocooned in luxury and exquisite service.”

True to its name, Boutique Journeys will only escort small groups, and provide intimate and authentic experiences with off the beaten path properties, places and people.  Each journey will be customized, allowing sophisticated travellers to customize their trips for the dates, length, and sites they want with flexible itineraries and the very highest level of service.  “Our clients will be able to take advantage of the years of hard work spent in assembling Mexico’s very finest properties, guides, and experiences.  We see this alliance as a natural one that allows us to have the same level of confidence in the properties we provide as we do in our expert and experienced guides, drivers and vehicles throughout the diverse and magnificent Mexican Republic”, says Zach Rabinor, President of Journey Mexico.

The first two journeys are to the heart of Mexico, highlighting world renowned colonial towns and cities and their environs. One Boutique Journey begins in Mexico City, one of the world’s most vibrant cities, before winding its way through the Bajío to Quérétaro, Mineral de Pozos, Guanajuato, Lagos de Moreno and Guadalajara. Along the way, patrons stay in Mexico Boutique Hotels’ exquisite accommodations, such as La Casa de la Marquesa and Quinta Las Acacias. The second colonial Boutique Journey commences with Guadalajara, the most Mexican of cities, home to mariachis, tequila and charros. The itinerary also includes Pátzcuaro, the crafts and folkart capital of the little known state of Michohuacan, and Morelia, its capital city of pink granite buildings, and impressive colonial architecture. . Villa Ganz, La Mansión de los Sueños and Los Juaninos play host to this unique exploration of Mexico’s rich and multi-layered culture, history, cuisine and art.  Accepting groups from only two to a maximum of 11 clients, Boutique Journeys are carefully crafted itineraries that  allow guests to truly enjoy the best Mexico has to offer including restaurants, historical sights and uniquely marvelous accommodations. Prices begin at approximately US$2,600.00 per person for a 9-day private itinerary.  Beach extensions to Mexico Boutique Hotel properties on either the Pacific or the Caribbean can be added.
