“The canal ride was very chill and chilly. It was a good opportunity to have fun and there were opportunities to buy food and drinks as well at both places. The tour said it included La Llorona as part of the tour but it was not in fact included.Faleadvetisement but looks like they may have updated it since then (by taking it off). I love seeing the panteones with the group and having the guides inform us and keep us safe. I’d say overall it’s a great tour but not worth the current price in my opinion. Too much for what it was.”
