What can I say, we booked this tour practically in a closed box, which turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Brand new bus, fresh water air conditioning and free Wii-fii inside. The guide, very kind and super prepared, accompanied us to the discovery of these suggestive places, also advising us of the spots from which to take breathtaking photos. We highly recommend it
