“My teenager and I very much enjoyed our tour with Rubi and Susana. Both guides were very engaging, super knowledgeable and very mindful of our safety and well-being.

And - we even got to try local treats!”

“I didn't give this tour 5 stars because we were sold to another agency. We were not contacted the night before about pick-up or anything and we had to call Viator to call the local tour operator. The tour guide we had was very excellent and he has a lot of knowledge to share. I just wish we were told earlier than we would be going with a different agency and we were contacted the night before about the pick-up time.”
