INCREDIBLE - In one word AMAZING One of the most culturally nourishing experiences I have ever had, not to mention how much fun I had. It all starts from the moment you book one of their tours, always giving you an environment of trust and professionalism. When you start the tour you know that it will be a very good experience since their units are very comfortable and clean. The people in charge of the tour receive you with great joy and treat you in the best possible way and the driver is very good at what he does. Arriving at each of the points on the tour they give you super clear directions, the guides explain very well, they make the conversation very enjoyable and not boring at all. As they say "there was no shortage of laughter." We loved each of the places, being in contact with so much culture, joy and natural beauty is enervating but after knowing more from the information of the guides the experience became much better. After living so many experiences together, all of us who attended the tour returned to the city no longer as strangers but as a united family presented by a wonderful experience. Everything was excellent, from asking for information to the tour to seeing how the guides said goodbye to you with a big smile. If I can complain about something it would be not being able to go every day hahaha, I will definitely return because I still have places to visit with them
