Arena Tours around Veracruz State - We had three tours with Arena tours with Guillermo Macias as our guide. Guillermo is a retired archeologist/anthropologist with a great knowledge of local history and customs. It was amazing to have a guide with such in depth knowledge to show us the Veracruz area. A very knowledgeable guide and was respected by all the locals we met. Arena Tours we’re easy to deal with and reasonably priced.
