What people love about Mexico City to Cancun Tours
- Aztecs & Mayas
J'ai aimè la localisation des hôtels, les chambres standard sont très bien, les visites sont bien organisées et les guides qui se relayrnt sur place sont bien professionnels. Les églises m'ont pas intèressèes et ne sont pas Astecs, et Maya, et j'aurais plus de temps sur les sites car beaucoupnde route parfois. La route entre Palenque et Mérida, trop long, avec une pause c'est 6 h et 4 h,5. Il serait mieux de prendre l'avion, Villahermosa à Mérida ? Autrement surperbe ! Et totalement safe, Merci beaucoup !
