Great excursion - The organization worked very well. Jefferson was our guide for the day and guided us well through the day. Overall an experience I would recommend to everyone. It's a group of about 12 people, don't speak exorbitantly large.
He also took pictures of us in the Salina and they got really nice.

Summary of experience - Very happy with the attention of the Shirley guide, sympathy, knowledge and personal attention. What we did not like was the restaurant, too expensive. One trout s/42 is too many and one soda s/5, I caught the attention of the restaurant owner.

Widely recommended - Very, very nice this tour. The guide that touched us, Nancy, a love. This tour is highly recommended.
Only thing is, there's no sign in the way and the van has very tight seats.
