The guide (I don't remember her name) was very kind and always attentive to the group members on the excursion. Everything was very well organized. I would definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars

Andrew is very knowledgeable and provides useful information but doesn't over do it. The old capital was probably the highlight for me as it includes a museum of the island.

5 out of 5 stars

The guide was excellent. The air conditioning in the bus could have been better, especially in the rear seat.
