This tour will start by meeting with one of our expert tour guides in the Central Park of Xela, right in front of the Cathedral. Please meet each other at 9:45 AM so that you can be on time to get the trolley bus that will depart just a few blocks away from that point. This is the best meeting point as it is the central area of Xela and is very easy to get there from any point. Happy travel!
