This was such a relaxing and enjoyable tour! I would like to especially shed light on how helpful the tour's service was - my hotel was pretty far off the bus pickup route but they still found a way to accommodate my pick-up and drop-off at nearby locations, for a very reasonable small fee. On top of their hospitality, our guide, Stella, was extremely thorough in explaining every single detail of the tour. Not to mention she is also quirky and had a few solid jokes up her sleeves haha! We had lots of free time to explore the places we visited so it did not feel rushed at all, very free and easy. I definitely recommend this tour if you're looking for an informative guide to the area, but still that bit of flexibility of exploring the sights. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Good group tour that I felt was very reasonably priced. Both the driver and guide were helpful. The time allocated to each stop worked very well. At Margaritas it may be better for guests to walk on their own from the top of village and meet, at the end of the village at a specific time and place. - easily achieved with a photo of meeting point.
