Excellent tour that brings together the main things to visit in one trip. Each place you visit is unique and leaves you surprised. The transport is comfortable and has air conditioning, the place where you eat is good and the guide is good. The tour was in English because of most of the other tourists but the guide asks you if you are okay with it, no problem.

The guide Edelmira and the driver Javier were amazing, they picked us up at our accommodation and dropped us off at the same point. Edelmira is very passionate and attentive which makes the experience incredibly pleasant.

Very good, both Joshua and Klain have been very kind and have explained a thousand things to us throughout the route. It has been a very good experience, I recommend it 100%
