Wonderful day in small villages

Got off to a late start but the driver/guide called to keep us informed. Romero was a safe driver and excellent guide. There were only 2 English speakers in the group and he made sure to repeat everything for us and answer all of our questions Great experience

Interesting day trip

This tour was really interesting. While the description on Viator wasn’t clear, we thought it would be in English, we enjoyed it. The tour guide did his best to translate and explain things to us. He was clearly very Knowledgeable and helpful. My only complaint is that due to the size of the tour, we spent much longer in places waiting on others.

The tour will...

During the tour, different hotels are approached to pick up the people, which sounds good at first, but in practice meant that I had to wait 50 minutes without any information. Tour itself was interesting and worth seeing, our guide unfortunately spoke very indistinct English, understood more in Spanish.
