Hierve el Agua Tour - My tour simply exceeded my expectations. Angel is a super guide with extensive knowledge, Luis is a super driver and was attentive to us the whole time.
Thank you very much for your attention.
I can only comment, regarding reservations, that they took a little while to answer messages. But the tour and the service from Angel and Luis made up for it all!

Not bilingual, no guide - We had no guide that traveled to the sites with us (and no information at all given at the Tule tree or Hierve el agua), only a driver. The main problem is that this is advertised as a bilingual tour… I am glad I speak Spanish and English. When we boarded the van, nothing was said to us until we got to the Tule tree, and then it was just that we had 30 min to walk around. No information about the site or its significance. However what was said, was in Spanish only, so I translated for some of the non-Spanish speakers, who, bear in mind, thought they signed up for an English tour. When we got to the next stops, a Spanish/English speaking participant of the group had to translate the instructions that were given from the driver. It is not the fault of the participants for not knowing Spanish if they signed up for a tour that was advertised as being in English… and that was for the stops where we had a guide.
