Great Guide, Great Experience
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.

Top-notch.

Great destination; poor logistics
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.
