Worth it - Great tour! Our guide Mr Ulises Najera was very knowledgeable and accommodating. A comfortable trip with an added bonus of a beautiful canyon. We also made our own pastes!

Don’t miss this one! - We had the most amazing time- this trip was even better than described. Ulises was fun and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable. We stopped in Huasca which looked like it was straight out of a hallmark movie. Then we went to the basaltic prisms which were even better than in the photos. After that we went to the canyon and even got to zip line across part of it. On Ulises suggestion we got quesadillas made by the local vendors and they were amazing, I’ll be dreaming of them for years. After that we stopped in Real de Monte which was also beautiful and we tried some Pastes. This is a don’t miss if you’ve got more than a few days in CDMX.
