Excellent experience, the provider was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating, we needed to move to activity from 10:30 to 11 am and they didn’t hesitate to help us, our guide Alfonso was very charismatic and professional at the same time, passionate and knowledgeable, we learned a lot without being overwhelmed by too much information at a time.
