“Exploring the city on a private small bus is really nice, and I enjoyed very much all the exploration of the city, the history and the ruins. I just wished it was more about that without wasting more than two hours in over priced souvenir stores - it felt as if I spent money to be brought where I can spend more money while I knew where to buy souvenirs that are not that overpriced. The first shopping stop was one hour (too much) and then we were supposed to visit the Tequila museum with some Tequila assortment, but it was just a small room with a 3 minutes video…”
