The entire schedule was perfectly observed, perfect departure/arrival time. The guide Kyle was funny and helpful, professional and respectful. At the beginning I was afraid reading the reviews but the "commercial part" was a few minutes so we had the chance to see and do a lot of things, the row boat ride was long enough and funny. Lunch was good.

This was an amazing trip. Great value for money, outstanding guide who made everything easy and took so many family pictures of us at many points of interest. I would thoroughly recommend this trip. I did it with my 3 children aged 10, 8 and 3. They loved it!
