“I simply can’t say enough positive things about Greg Custer. The purpose of my trip was to tour assisted living facilities for my elderly mother, and Greg’s knowledge and insights were exceptional. I spent two days touring the area with him, and most of the first day was a walking tour of Ajijic and a driving tour of the various nearby Lakeside towns. He’s very well read, and knows a lot about the area’s history, but his personal perspective on what it is like to live in Ajijic added another dimension to his abilities to inform me of the joys and challenges of living here. Greg is super punctual, his written communication skills are excellent and best of all, he’s easy to spend time with. I am grateful to Greg for what he did for me and my family, and can’t think of a better consultant to work with if you’re considering moving to the Lake Chapala area. ”
David Spelman

“We were soooo fortunate!!! Greg showed my wife and myself a comprehensive, historically accurate, enlightening, and exciting view of the amazing village of Ajijic - we have been considering living here, and today will play an enormous and reassuring role in our election. His depth of knowledge, personal passion, and enlightening and inclusive presentations never failed to stimulate. Thank you deeply, Greg.”
Mr. & Mrs. Chases

“Greg took the time to tour us around the lakeside acquainting us with more of the area before making a buying decision. We plan to use him as a continued resource for the Lakeside area and frankly all of Mexico due to his vast knowledge of the entire country.”
Jim-Mark Geldien-Flicklin

“This walking tour was absolutely enchanting! Gregory is a wonderful storyteller, and you will learn a lot of interesting details and secrets about the history of Ajijic. In addition, Gregory has an expertise in what it means to retire in Mexico. He has a lot of perspective and can offer insight and answer questions if you were thinking about retiring in this area. I accompanied my mom on this tour, as she's thinking about retiring in this area. I also got a lot out of the tour and really enjoyed the stories about the murals, The visit to Lake Chapala society, and the Tuesday market. We even got a chance encounter with one of the areas most famous artists, Javier Zaragoza! And because Gregory knows him, we were able to have a nice chat and listen to a story from his past. I highly recommend a walking tour with Gregory. You will explore and learn and laugh along the way.”

“Outstanding tour with an excellent look into the beautiful village of Ajijic. Greg provided a wonderful mix of local history, culture, cuisine, and its role within the Lake Chapala region. I am not usually one for city tours, but Greg's was interesting and engaging throughout - and he was an excellent person to spend a morning with.”
Guyar

“Prior to becoming a travel agent 8 years ago, I designed training courses for corporate clients. I must say that Magic of Mexico Specialist course is THE best destination course I have ever seen or taken. It is very well designed and actually requires you to have studied and done all the homework to pass it. Which is quite unlike most destination courses that are so simple and really don't require any effort from the student. It has definitely helped me to improve my Mexico sales and increased my knowledge of that beautiful country.”
Lorna Greenwood

“What an informative site, thank you. I can see myself adding your posts to my morning routine: coffee, NYT, Gregory’s post.”
Lisa Sluss

“Definitely go for this walkabout. Greg is interesting, kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed hanging out with him for a morning. The tour is a great value and you'll appreciate Ajijic more once you've learn some of its hidden secrets.”
Patrick

“We had a wonderful time rambling about Ajijic with you last Saturday. Your tour was informative, interesting, and fun. You have a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing it. I loved Ajijic before the tour. I love it even more now. I highly recommend your walking tour to anyone who wants an enjoyable Ajijic experience.”
