The trip is recommended. We had a great guide. She showed us a lot and was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the transport from our hotel in the south to the meeting point in the north was not very great. There was a lot of traffic and our driver drove very hectically.

It was a great trip with a great guide. I would definitely recommend it. My request as to whether the pick-up point could be at the hotel was dealt with quickly and easily. I would be happy to do it again.

The guide Eddy was great (5+ out of 5 stars). Only one point deducted from the overall rating because of the lack of information about insect repellent in the “You have to bring this with you”.
