I thought were too expensive. I wouldn’t pay that in the states. And the second place was tequila tasting and food. The food was really good and got drinks too. A fair price.

Shoutout to the Las Glorias crew who helped us get to the tour location (for any of you who are confused with the two locations: centro location is downtown in zona romantica and las glorias is on the way to downtown, whoops) We went on an ATV tour with our guide Eric and had a blast, he was so kind and patient seeing as this was my first ride ever on an ATV.

“We travelled with teenage daughters, and we all loved the excursion! Our daughter said it was the best food of the whole 9 day trip. We felt that we had personal guides, it wasn’t crowded and everyone was happy and glad to be there. You do need to be half way coordinated and in fair shape, this is an active excursion. I recommend doing the zip lines and ATV option as well, ad the ATV ride was my husbands favorite and the zip lines were the girls’ favorite. Overall an excellent day with absolutely no complaints. If you can’t have fun on this one, you may not be capable of…”
