El Tajín is a must see!! - The driver was on time, very attentive to our needs. Wonderful day trip and good driver. The museum tour guide was good however he left before showing us the final building. We missed seeing the governors palace. The flying men show was about 20 minutes in preparation before the show and we wish we could have had more time at the ruins. Please let visitors know the show takes time to begin and we had time to use the bathroom, get a drink of water or a Ake lore pictures at ththe ruins. Food was the best we’ve had in Veracruz

Unforgettable experience - Excellent experience to visit Tajín and Papantla. The tour operator was always friendly and did everything in his power to make the trip pleasant, adapting to the inclement weather, but we had the opportunity to do the whole tour. Our driver Rafa, excellent. The guide they chose to give us the tour in Tajín was quite experienced and knew what he was talking about, as an extra fact despite having booked the tour in Spanish, the guide gave the time to give the explanation in English also for one of our companions. The truth is very worth doing this tour with this tour operator.

Interestingly different architecture - Smaller more compact architectural finding. Very well excavated and maintained.
Still being excavated and discovered. Subtlety different than that of the Mayan.

Geológico Tour and Hike - Very informative and eye opening. Our tour driver and tour guide was superior! We l learned so very much about this countries people and how they lived and what went wrong. Much like to today politics, greed, over population can ultimately destroy a civilization.
