Transfer from Chihuahua to Creel with a visit to the Mennonite Museum - QM*

During the journey, we will enjoy a unique cultural experience by visiting a Mennonite museum. There, you will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about their customs, lifestyle, and history—discovering one of the most fascinating and reserved communities in the country.

Note:
On Sundays and public holidays, due to the religious traditions and customs of the Mennonite community, places such as the Mennonite Museum and other sites are usually closed. For this reason, on those days we offer an alternative tour that includes a panoramic visit to the region's apple orchards and a culinary experience at an authentic Mennonite artisanal pizzeria. It’s a wonderful way to continue enjoying the cultural and culinary richness of the area.

Notice regarding space for children:
We understand how important it is to travel comfortably. If you are traveling with children taller than one meter, we kindly ask you to inform us in advance. This will allow us to allocate the appropriate space on the transportation unit. Otherwise, we may need to make last-minute adjustments and charge an additional fee for the extra seat required, to ensure everyone's comfort during the trip.

El hotel de Chihuahua, el Quality Inn Chihuahua, la ubicación es buena para alguien que jamás ha ido a Chihuahua y quiere conocer el centro, muy práctico, pero la calidad es MUY mala, muy descuidado, mucho ruido en algunas habitaciones debido a un ducto interno que tiene escaleras que usan mucho y toda la noche hay movimiento y PÉSIMA limpieza en las habitaciones, 2 de las 4 habitaciones que ocupamos (grupo de 8 personas) tuvieron un fuerte tema: En una encontraron un par de calcetines metido entre las sábanas (señal de que solo estiraron la cama y no cambiaron las sábanas) y en otra la sábana de cajón tenía una mancha fuerte de sangre. Un verdadero descuido, puede ser de nivel bajo, pero la limpieza siempre debe ser impecable.

Los hoteles en Creel, Barrancas y El Fuerte MUY lindos, limpios y de buena calidad.

Todo estuvo muy bien, aunque hizo falta tiempo para conocer Cuauhtémoc para ver como viven los menonitas, ya será para la próxima.

En general el viaje fue Excelente, pero solo hay un comentario muy negativo respecto al servicio recibido en el Hotel El Mirador , el personal en su mayoría son muy mal encarados y no con muy buena disposición, por lo que concierne a los alimentos del mismo hotel dejan mucho que desear, con respecto a su categoría, solo hay menú del día del cual no es muy bueno y como segunda opción que dan son quesadillas (es en serio!!!) y tampoco cuentan con menú a la carta, eso habla muy mal del hotel ya que mucha gente solo va por un cóctel para apreciar la vista y no por los alimentos ya que se les hacen malos y caros, ojala y puedan hacer algo como lo que tienen en el Hotel Posada Hidalgense en el Fuerte ya que no entiendo, si es de la misma cadena es todo lo contrario del Hotel El Mirador, excelente servicio y comida. Solo como observación nos dijeron que habría bufete en el desayuno y no fue así, nos dieron servicio a la carta.
