“Very good ,Alex the guide was great. The pyramid was different and exotic not like all the others. The walk around Pueblo was interesting but don’t miss the cathedral. It’s wonderful and the best cathedral I’ve been to in the americas and frankly rivals if not surpasses the many I’ve been to in Europe. I was the only one in my group to sign up for lunch. The others made a mistake. The mole sauce was exceptional.”

“First, i would have given a rating of 5 had the subcontracted company Azteca Tours (lacked technology for finding our hotel) Emmanuel kept to the agreement of sending a driver & guide whom was completely versed in English (Antonio tried very hard however, his English was limited so the expectations or direction lacked for some preparation); a vehicle that was safe (working seatbelts), did not smell like cigarettes, & that was comfortable for a windy, hilly road, 4hr trip both ways for a day totaling a 14hr day. We did relay our disappointments Emmanuel responded with no solutions.”
