Good overview of the city... - Good overview of the city and its history. San Juan de Ulua was creepy. Rafael was a great guide. He knew his stuff and was enthusiastic in sharing.

Great hustiry - Amazing history. Our driver was a walking encyclopedia of history- helped translate and answered questions. It took longer than we thought and were sleepy as we are not used to the humidity. Otherwise, awesome tour / info.
