Very good tour with a very attentive and responsible guide
I liked it very much, everything as combined, from the moment of booking, as well as the whole tour, the guide Jim super attentive and knowledgeable of the locations and local history
Excellent, guide Jir great too!!!
Guidance Franco and the driver Fred very attentive and an excellent explanation on the tours.
I didn't just like having us taken to a store where they sold salt and chocolates and didn't warn that it was better to leave to buy at the fair. The prices for the same products were much better
