Great trip. A place worth visiting. Wonderful views and an unforgettable meeting with dolphins. The joy of the meeting is the same for adults and children, something amazing. The guide and on-site care is exceptionally kind and helpful. Two important things to the organizer are: lack of full information about the course of the trip before buying it. It is worth emphasizing at this point that the attractions on site are not mutually exclusive and you can both meet dolphins and visit the Upper Rock Reserve. It is a pity that the organizer did not provide details with the plan of the visit to the site, it would make it easier to plan sightseeing and free time. If someone has chosen the option of sightseeing on their own, this does not preclude a change of decision, there is a large offer of guided tours on site at very favorable prices. 5 hours provided for on site is very little time to see even the most important attractions.

The transportation was great (big, clean bus with a very personable guide), plenty of free time in the city, friendly and knowledgeable boat guides that quickly found dolphins to observe.

Very relaxing. Skipper was great and plenty of cold beers in the fridge.

Our guide was super nice and patient with all the travelers.

Well organized trip. The guide was great. I recommend.
