Our guide was great! Jackson was super fun, attentive and knowledgeable. We liked the boat ride too - it allows ya to see and try different foods but it wasn't too commercial and up to us to decide if we wanted to buy anything.

Kat was a lovely guide; warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We opted for the private tour so we could be more flexible with times - highly recommended even if it costs more. I would book with the company again.
