Great Guide, Great Tour - Our tour guide Mike was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, we really enjoyed our tour with him. There was some confusion on if this was a private tour or not while we were observing the monkeys but other than that hiccup everything was perfect. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
