It was informative and the stops were well chosen. The one traditional blessing from a local farm with the alphacas was interesting.

Beautiful sights and good informations. But felt a bit 'tourist trap', they would bring people onto the bus to sell products (nectar, books, photos...) They wanted to sell their tjings and wanted tips.
