Perfect - The tour was excellent, the pick up on time, the service in the car was really good.
The tour guy has a lot of experience and knowledge, we are really happy about it.
The only "bad" thing is that the tour supossed to last for 6 hours but it was less than that, in my opinión this tour is good with just 3 hours but it should be mentioned in the description, otherwise seems as an deception
