Ecology and food! - Excellent tour, lots of information. It would be great to include English, but my Spanish was on enough to understand most of the guide’s talks

A good experience. - The places visited are quite nice. The only observation I would consider trying to resolve is that of serving all the shared tour clients in the same way. Since in the tour we took, there were a group of 9 people, all of them older and retired who were treated more carefully, that is, they were cut about 20 to 30 minutes from the visit to the fortress of San Juan de Ulua, because those people asked the operator to stop to buy coffee. In addition, on the Mandinga tour they absorbed more time to eat, having to wait around 15 minutes in transport to continue with the tram tour. It is important to remember that the tour is shared and that all customers must be treated the same and in case of requesting any "special stop" it is necessary to consult with all the members of the tour to agree in common.
