Our tour guide was polite, knowledgeable, and flexible in difficult situations. I had a very high-quality time on the tour. I think you should choose this tour—if you do, you won’t regret it.

The tour was enjoyable and informative. Our guide Daniel was quite knowledgeable and you could tell he enjoys what he does. It's a lot of walking, but with our guide, it was barely noticable. Learned a lot.

Liked what we saw but After having an amazing passionate guide on a previous tour this guide was not as good. Didn’t seem passionate about the tour experience.
