Christin_C, Feb 2023

They are well organize. The tour guide waited for us before we walked out of the cruise ship. He knew how to avoid the crowds, where to get the best view, provided extra informations about the local plants, cultures and iced cold bottles of water, he took us to a local shop for food tastings but no pressure on shopping. The van was clean and comfortable. All 10 of us had great time.
