Enrique, our tour guide, did an excellent job by talking about the places in the city that the bus passes by, even if our itinerary is the country side. The bus is very clean and spacious. Make sure to use the toilet before hopping on the bus, as they won’t allow the toilet be used because of the city’s law as per them. Otherwise, great tour!

Our bus crashed with a car on its way to our pickup. Therefore our departure was delayed over an hour and as a result our day trip was cut short. Our tour guide Tirso did a great job accommodating the shortened time, reducing each stop by 10 minutes and lunch by 30 minutes. Would have given an excellent review except for these untimely and frustrating difficulties that spoiled our day.
