I went solo while the others in our were in duos. I wasn’t ever left behind. Our guide was great – giving us updates as we moved along in the tour, and preparing us for what was coming next. He gave great, thorough history and information about each location, enough free time to explore, and always provided a specific meeting point and time. I would definitely use Amigo Tours again when back in Mexico.
