Since the very first contact the treatment was amazing. We were a large company group with different nationalities. They divided us into small groups and assigned a guide based on the characteristics of each group. A top notch organization.

We were a group of 56 people and everyone was very satisfied at the end of the tour. The guide picked up the group at the restaurant where they were eating. A panoramic view by bus first and a detailed walking tour. Excellent preparation and also ten out of ten for the guide who did a great job.
