Great time! - Andres was informative, humorous, and timely. He explained processes clearly and responded well to changes in the schedule, ie: we were late having not gotten on this time zone yet and there was a strike at one of the stops so he quickly took us to an alternate site.

Great driver but not so good guide - The driver was great, but the licensed guide was not so good. She was full of dates but not very interesting. When we asked questions, the answers went on and on and she usually didn’t answer the question.
