Ameiii - I will write the review because I read a lot before closing a tour. Mostly traveling alone. We need to be careful with what we do. The ride was amazing, I felt super careful and safe. The driver was very cautious, they were very fun and pray for their guide to be the Alex. He's an encyclopedia kkkk knows everything. Thank you again.

Not Worth It At All - Very Disappointing - This was an incredibly disappointing tour. In fact, it's the worst one we've taken in South America. They crammed 19 people into a van which made for a very uncomfortable ride. If you are over 5'10" or weigh more than 175 pounds, don't even think about taking this tour since there's no way you can fit into the van seats. The tour leaves at 5:30 a.m. and gets back about 2:30 p.m. Why leave so early? I can understand it for weekday traffic, but this was the weekend. The tour says that it is bilingual, but 80% of it is in Spanish. While the tour guide was nice, he really didn't add anything to the trip - no interesting info about the places we were seeing, etc. The picnic is a joke. It's a table with a few snacks on it and a glass of wine, and you are with at least 7 other tour groups in a commercial establishment. To sum it up, this tour is definitely not worth the price.
