I liked how informative and helpful the guide was. He treated us very professionally but also in a friendly way. What I would like to point is that there is needed to be more specific about the pick up location and let the person know in advance. If there's changes I would like to be aware of it beforehand. Thank you though for waiting and guiding us through the tour!
