Our guide, Harold, was amazing and curated such a great experience for us. He took us to a couple extra places and even stopped somewhere that we requested if time permitted. He was knowledgeable and shared interesting facts but also gave us space to rest and explore on our own.

Carolina was absolutely phenomenal!!! She was so knowledgeable, offering many stories about the local landscapes, people, and customs. She was very organized and personable. The tour itself was amazing. We saw so many wonderful sights, and took in once-in-a-lifetime experiences. A very long day but so so so worth it :)
