Lovely people and Veronica was extremely knowledgeable, we learned lots at our own pace and we could see how much she enjoyed sharing information about Mexican culture from ancient times through to the modern day. We highly recommend this tour and our guides! Personally we would avoid the lunch stop if booking again though.”
