The guide David was excellent. There was a misunderstanding with the contracted excursion that David kindly solved. They sent me a reservation code that did not correspond to the tour and with a wrong meeting point. Luckily I realized it and sent several emails the day before to solve it but until the last minute we were afraid of losing what we had booked. The visit was 10. The organization was terrible.

    The guide was not very nice, could not understand her very well, and the audio guide was not very helpful.
