GetYourGuide traveler – SpainOctober 15, 2023 – Verified booking
un tour totalmente recomendable para hacerlo con guia. Es espectacular, mucho mejor de lo que esperabamos. Aun siendo, muy poco lo que aun se puede visitar (7%) es una autentica maravilla. Aconsejable hacerlo a hora temprana por el calor q hace aqui. Nuestra guia, Micaela, un encanto de chica con una cultura excepcional. Cualquier pregunta al respecto sabia responder con total destreza y rapidez. Fue encantadora

The exceptional guide knew what he was saying, when it came to the chaotic shuttle buses, but I don't think that is your problem, but in case you can comment on it in a forum, another thing I went to see the Rico room, which was offered, And I think I'm not wrong and if I am, excuse me, I say it because if I don't read it I won't go. In short we had a good morning.

Our guide Samuel was very competent and made the visit very enjoyable. Very interesting place. We had a small group and that made it easier to find out what they were telling us. The bad: overcrowded on the shuttle bus, on the way back you wait in full sun, little shade and no bench to sit on. After a visit like this, there is no possibility of resting or using a service.
