The guide, Mia, was great with her kindness and explanations. I would like to do another excursion with her. She was also very patient and wise in dealing with the problem with the bus wheel. The safety of the travelers came first.

    The park is beautiful and the guide very good, but you can not see the whole park is a pity not to see the part that most wanted to see.
