Very good organization. They prepared everything and accompanied us in all the activity. It is worth visiting on tour as travel can be complicated by free and really the cost of the activity is already high even doing it alone. It is not worth “saving” so I recommend 100% this company. They have always been tentative, resolute with doubts or requests and the guide was fantastic. He explained many things to us and always open to our questions. Add, for travelers, that, at least in our case, the time in hot waters got a little long. So I recommend checking well if you want to spend more or less time in hot waters and that you square the trains with the operator because of that. In hot springs there are free hot springs (in case someone wants to take swimming trunks). On top of that, it is to walk or visit the butterfly.
A very wonderful experience, the places we visited. The agency provides you with excellent service, they help you with all kinds of activities to enjoy the views. I recommend it 💯
The best place to visited around the world with Sayariq travel ! Thank you !
