informative city tour - It was a very informative city tour. Angie and Angel were completely accommodating to our wishes. Angel also told us a lot about the Mayan culture in the regional anthropological museum of Yucatan. It was also no problem to extend our tour a little. A nice end was the visit to the second oldest Catholic cathedral in the new world.
