Totalmente Decepcionada. Pagué $400.000 sólo por ir a conocer el cerro de la Popa, incluso pagué aparte las entradas allí. El vehículo agradable, sin embargo en los últimos puestos por estar más arriba la vista por la ventana no es buena. Según lo que decía el guía se pasó por Getsemani y otros lugares que no pudimos ni apreciar, ni hubo recorrido en caminata, ni parada. Al llegar al Castillo de San Felipe y mientras compré un agua, nos dejaron botadas en los torniquetes sin más remedio que meternos a la van a esperar que regresaran, si se está en grupo hay que cerciorarse que esté completo. Luego de esto se caminaron unas calles (pocas) para finalizar en una joyería especializada en esmeraldas, algo que sólo le vi justificación porque iba con extranjeros. Terrible, una manera de indisponer un cumpleaños, terminé pagando un tour en chiva otro día, mil veces mejor, más animado, mejor guiado y súper pendiente del grupo a pesar de contar con un número mayor de personas. Un timo.
