G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Robert.Review collected by G Adventures 
MandichhyaWritten on April 22, 20194.0 - GoodOne of the best trips I’ve done so far. However, it would’ve been nice to spend more time in Mexico as we were there for 2days only & we didn’t have time to do much. I would recommend to book few extra nights so that you can explore Mexico on your own.

The tour was very quick. Did not have enough time to properly explore in some places. The tour should include sumac champey. Ideally it should be five days longer to not feel so rushed. It was fun but really depends on what you want. If you're used to... Read more
