Reviews
A really great trip, I highly recommend 🙂 Good organization, professional guide, beautiful views. Perfect way to spend a day and hide from the sun under the trees. The guide speaks very well english and is talking a lot about those places you visit.
Eliel is just an amazing guide! totally recommend this tour as the sights are amazing and have less people so you can really enjoy it
it was a decent tour but we weren't clear if it was going to be a Jeep tour or hiking based on the description (it was a van tour) and there were other travellers who had the same misunderstanding as us. We had also (unknowingly) booked on a public holiday, which meant some attractions were closed and the guide/company didn't have alternative plans. Overall, we enjoyed our time, but value for money and itinerary could be improved
