Enjoyed the vanilla tour. Very thorough and interesting. The walk amongst the ruins was amazing. I had no idea it was so big.

Our Tour Guide has apologized that Vanilla Factory has been cancelled due to the maintenance of the facility when he came to pick us up to our hotel. It was replaced to Papantla and it was not bad. However, we were very sorry that our most interest was in Vanilla Factory Experience.

Very interesting excursion

On this tour we could enjoy an excellent tour with guide of Tajín. Then we visit a center where vanilla is grown, also very interesting. Our driver Cipriano was always very friendly. Four stars and not five because the agency did not authorize the driver to return to Veracruz by the highway, delaying the return of an hour and was very tired.
