The trip was mediocre at best; having just drive us to the destination without much exposure of the history or culture of the place, the guide (Ramon) just walked us around and rushed us all to get to the restaurant about an hour away from Chapala. He gave us 40 minutes to get pictures around Chapala. He seemed motivated to get us all to the restaurant. When we arrived Ajijic, he hadn't set any expectations of timing where we could roam and he just went ahead and guided us past a local event. When asked about it, he ignored us.
