Our tour guide, Ricky, was very friendly, and made everyone in the group feel comfortable. He had great knowledge about all of the areas we visited and made sure we had time at each place to look around on our own. The group size wasn’t too big, so we didn’t have to wait for lots of people to gather to move onto the next activity. Highly recommend this trip to cover lots of smaller activities in one go!

Rickey was a great guide! He kept us informed with our itinerary as we went along our journey. It was incredibly hot, which made the stairs, and sitting on a boat for an hour and a half a very sweaty experience, all in all it went smoothly though.
