We had a fantastic time learning and tasting all the different foods available The fruits and smoothies were out of this world as was the viche Santi was a wonderful, knowledgable and very helpful guide and nothing was too much trouble We were fortunate that there was only 2 of us so had a private tour GYG provided us with plenty of information that was accurate and easy to follow Only small negative was we thought the price was a little high. Having said that, it was well worth it
