5 stars for the Yucatan part, which Manuel led. The first guide, on the other hand, was not good and we were pretty much left alone. Without pushing for it, there would have been no trip to Teotihuacan, although the new guide was really good. We were left completely alone at Mexico City airport. It was a huge mess as everything was chaotic due to construction work. With Manuel, on the other hand, everything was very carefully organized in Yucatan - he was a dedicated and motivated guide!Show more
