We had florence M ( guide) and custavo (driver) and both were amazing ! From the moment we started the trip we felt in safe hands and at ease, our guide apologised to us as the English speaking guide was not in attendance today, however her English was amazing and couldn’t fault her or the overall tour, the scenery from the different stops was incredible particularly the flats ! A big shoutout to our driver (custavo) who was incredible and so safe - at times we found the altitude evident but they provided us with the correct guidance and checked in with all passengers throughout ! Would definitely recommend this to anyone young or old well worth doing ! !
Excellent flower accompaniment mendoza the guide and Juan the driver who handled perfectly all the way
