In February of 2018, I had the pleasure of working with Global Business Partners Mexico. Each employee was extremely helpful and professional in every aspect of my trip. I could not have asked for more because even the tiniest of details were taken care of. The interpreter and driver that were provided were top notch and always arrived ahead of time.

GBP Mexico was also flexible with my schedule since the second half of my trip I was on my own. The Business I cultivated with their assistance more than offset any expensives I. incurred during my visit. I Will defiintely utilize them in the future since I will be focusing more on international sales.
