Fantastic and economical. - Not only was this the cheapest trip I've seen, but the guide was excellent. He was very informative, both about the site and about the country he loves.

Good tour to the equator - The minibus takes you to 2 places. The first place is the big monument. We did not pay to get in but just got a picture from the sidewalk which was OK because it is not the true equator location. The second stop you pay a $5 entrance fee to the museum and the entire van group gets a very nice tour. It has the true location of the equator and you can take pictures. I thought the guided tour of the museum was very good. Also free bathrooms at the museum.

Museum is a must! - It was great but a bit more time needed at the monument as there was a line so we really only had 20 minutes and not 30....but it was an awesome experience and the museum guides are very knowledgeable and friendly!

You Weigh Less on the Equator - The museum was the best part. All the exercises/games the guide had us do were eye-opening. Balancing the egg and walking the equator line losing our balance. The monument was worth seeing but not all that exciting. Good pictures though.

I feel comfortable with this transportation. - Reasonable price for solo traveler. They mentioned no tour guide but still have a guide who speak English with little introduction. The guide and driver both are nice and polite.

Good tour - The museum was very interesting. The tour should be a half hour longer so we can have more time at the first monument. We only had 25 minutes. Barely enough time to get to the monument, take a photo or two, then get back to the bus.

Does the job but left us with mixed feelings - This is a good experience if you are traveling alone and want to meet other young people from around the world. If you are traveling in a group it is probably more comfortable and cheaper to take a taxi or Uber. The van did take us directly door to door which was nice, but it was over crowded. Although we all technically had seats, we were seated 4 people across in each row of the van. The guide and driver were very friendly. We did not have much time to visit the monument but the museum was very fun and definitely worth it.

The bus left me at the... - The bus left me at the museum. At the end of the musuem tour, I went to the toilet. We were left there. After a big while the guide at the museum tried to help and called them, but no positive reponse. We had to walk to the monument, and searched the are for the bus by ourselves. No apology from them at all.
