Started kind of bumpy as they provided a guide that didn't speak English which wouldn't have worked.
Recovered with a Ivan who was excellent. He was very helpful and a great guide to all the sites we visited (terra cotta house, Pozol azul, Fossil museum and a walking tour at the end for the history of Villa de Leyva. He was very accommodating and we did spend some time afterwards with him for lunch (wasn't part of the tour).
We really appreciated the quick adjustment. We were happy with the tour.
