Our original tour was undersubscribed and so we were contacted to see if we’d like to go on another tour which was cheaper (300 Pesos each) and visited more places. Reno our driver made good contact before arriving and was outstanding throughout the day. He spoke excellent English to translate for us and also was very good with the Spanish-speaking clients as well. This coupled with a lovely personality and a good sense of humour meant that the day with him was most enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the mezcal tasting, rug making, the world’s largest tree and the petrified waterfalls. We also stopped on route for an all-inclusive buffet (I’m not normally a fan) which was quite outstanding for 200 Pesos pp with lots of variety and excellent quality. The entrance to places was on top, but I still felt that this was excellent value for money. Thank you.
Really nice tour-small group

It was ok. There is really no waterfalls because it is dry but the place is beautiful. We requested for English speaking but the driver doesn’t speak English at all.
Simply wonderful, great Service
