Excellent excursion and Ximena Guide. I'd go back to them. Super responsible and serious. Incredible places and history told in both languages
Gracias por los comentarios, saludos !
Wonderful scenery and small towns full of charm and history. Guide Sole and driver Mario were great. Only downside was directing us to restaurant that was overpriced and charged a 15 percent fee for using a debit card. For the tour on the following day, we learned our lesson and ate at a different restaurant than the one the tour company directed us to.
