Mario was our guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. He gave detail information and very patient with inquiries. We had amazing time. The tour is better than what we expected. It ended up as a smaller group of people. I like it that we have a lot of free time to do things individually. Beautiful trip. All well! Highly recommend.
