The tour itinerary was good but execution lacked in organization. Our tour driver and guide were both new and didn't really know how to manage 14 independent people by setting clear expecations (e.g., "meet back here at 1:00", so they spent most of their time trying to gather up the troups, so then we were running late. Additionally, the restaurant we went to was either short-handed or caught off guard, so we were running extra late. BUT, it was a lovely trip to the lighthouse, museum, market, restaurant, and the Third Millenium Cross. We had to convince our driver that we had to LEAVE NOW to get back to the ship on time. I think that by next season (2024) the tour company will have trained their guides a bit and it will be a great experience. All in all, a great day, and good value.

Viele Stops mit herrlicher Aussicht auf die Stadt (Leuchtturm, Fort, 3. Milleniumkreuz). Nicole spricht ein gut verständliches Englisch und gibt gute Informationen. Da die Tour aufgrund der langen Liegezeit unseres Schiffs lange dauerte, kamen wir unerwartet noch in den Genuss eines guten Mittagessens (Empanadas mit Wein oder Pisco). Besonders imponierend war der Besuch in den Armen des Milleniumkreuzes mit Superblick auf die Stadt. Das war nicht mehr zu toppen!!!
