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

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback!
We’re very happy to know you enjoyed the day trip, appreciated our driver’s attentiveness, and loved the food — it truly makes us glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience in Veracruz.
We also appreciate your comments about the museum guide and the time at the ruins and the “Voladores” show. Your suggestions are very valuable, and we’ll make sure to share them with our team to improve the experience for future visitors.
It would be a pleasure to have you join us again to explore even more of what Veracruz and Puebla have to offer — from the magic of La Antigua and Cempoala to the colorful charm of Atlixco and Cholula. We hope to see you again soon for another memorable adventure!

We would be delighted to welcome you back to explore even more incredible destinations with us. In Veracruz, you can discover the magic of Catemaco with its stunning lake and lush rainforest, as well as our charming “Pueblos Mágicos.” In Puebla, there’s so much to see — from the historic beauty of Cholula with its iconic Great Pyramid, to the vibrant flowers of Atlixco, and the breathtaking landscapes of Zacatlán.
We hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventur
