Highly recommended - I completed the “City Highlights and Equator Line Day Tour” today. It was a very comfortable and relaxing private trip with our professional and trustworthy guide, Jossua. I learned so much, enjoyed the experience to the fullest, and even got to try some delicious food. Highly recommended!

Tours that are very friendly and gracious - I thought it was a group tour, but they offered a private tour. They didn’t have to go to the meeting point, they picked us up at the hotel, and we were able to have a good day from 9am to 4pm. Of course, at the end of the tour, they would pick us up and drop us off at the hotel. It became a private tour, so we enjoyed good food and drinks without shopping that I wasn't interested in, and showed us the caldera in Purlawa that wasn't on the plan. The experience at the Intinian Museum, originally in Plan, and the entrance to the Voto National Cathedral tower were of course the best. In addition, our guide, Jossua, taught us so much, including when we were driving. Information about food in particular helped me think about what to eat in a restaurant, and counting numbers helped me a lot during the rest of the trip.
