Here there will be time to have lunch where you wish and then we will visit one of the largest churches in Mexico: Santa Prisca, built in 1759 in the baroque style of New Spain and with stones from the area.

Well organised , guide knew his material and there was plenty of time to do my own thing. As I was staying far from the pick up point the company organised a location that was better suited to me

Great tour! Hilarious tour guide Carlos- lots of colorful personal commentary. Feel free to be proactive over what spots you want to see during the tour. Lunch might be on the later side so plan to bring snacks.
