Very fun trip, our tour...
Very fun trip, our tour guide was super knowledgeable and personable. I don’t know if we did all the things on the list, but after everything was done we went and got street tacos with the tour guide. Super great experience

Great tour!
We had a great experience with our tour guide Petrus. He was very knowledgeable and nice. There was a miscommunication that occurred prior to the tour where we ended up being late, but Petrus was nice enough to wait for us and flexible after that seemed to be the case. There were 6 of us on the tour and everyone enjoyed the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
