The actual tour of the canyon was amazing. We were picked up on time by the driver and he was pleasant but it was blazing hot with about 16 people in the van and the AC did not work. However, what I was most disappointed about was that I paid for a tour with what I thought was an included lunch. We arrived at the second stop after the Sumidereo tour and were led into a buffet restaurant and then were asked to pay the bill. I asked the tour guide but he said this was not included. If I would have known I would not have paid extra for this tour.
Had a great time on this tour. The ride through the canyon was breathtaking. The tour guide was very knowledgeable as well.
Quite an exciting boat ride on the river/reservoir. the mountains are stunningly spectacular. Lots of wildlife in the air, on the ground, and in the water to keep your interest. When you gaze to the tops of the mountains, though, your breath will be taken away.
i paid tour via viator, which i found out that was 3 times more expensive for me than for otherd who book it with lical agency. i had included lunch which i got at 4 pm
We were so happy with this tour as we were a little worried that it had no Viatour reviews, but it was all great. The pick up was on time and it was very well organised. The cruise was incredible, but the viewpoints really make it, so definitely don't do a tour without this. The lunch was also very good.
