Pyramids of Tajin - We had an excellent day from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Nicholas, was very knowledgeable, but relaxed and fun. Visiting Tajin was historically fascinating. Hotel pickup and drop-off made the day seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences on a tour, very complete - First of all thanks to Claudio, he is one of the best guides I have ever seen. The experience was extraordinary, the vanilla factory has its own super interesting story. After this the site is super interesting, we were offered the best guide of the site, he explained the meaning of each of the elements. The only bad thing is the distance, it was 6 hours of pure travel on not very good roads, but in general an incredible activity that can be done if you are in Veracruz

If you go on Sunday it is Free! - Going on Sundays and non-peak dates will make your experience more pleasant, without a contingent of people and is not far from the center of papantla veracruz plus your crafts are cheaper than in the center so take advantage

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.

Excellent Tajin - The ruins of Tajín are a beautiful and impressive place, clean and with excellent attention from your guide. But we didn't know where the vanilla factory was and Papantla disappointed us.

Tajin Ruins Day Trip and Vanilla Factory Experience - 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.
