Jose was an excellent guide, switching between Spanish and English speaking to ensure everyone got the most from the tour. The information he gave us was interesting and informative and we walked at just the right pace. The views from the top were great and Jose allowed us plenty of time to walk around and to get photographs. Highly recommended
