The interaction with the guide was sensational. As a suggestion, they should invest in a van that allows for better visibility outside. Excellent work. Well done!

A super touristy tour, just as expected! It went well despite the "huge" crowd of visitors. It all came down to our guide, Luciana, who is undoubtedly one of the best in the area: friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, and efficient! Thanks to the whole team for a great tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️
