Guide knew their stuff and kept us moving but at a reasonable pace for people not used to 8,000 feet elevation. Assisted with photos and getting us to and from the location.
Eliud is a pleasant, cultured, and especially patient person. We had a wonderful time in his company. We recommend the activity!!
My voucher said that we would be picked up at 8 am at our hotel. We didn’t get picked up until 11 with little or no communication with the tour company. I will say that our guide was excellent and he is excluded from this bad review. I have used Viator in the past but won’t in the future.
