This place is gorgeous and very scenic. The tour was good. We got picked up right on time. It took us a bit long to get there because they were repairing the roads but the driver managed to get around another way and we got there at a good time. The pools were not suitable for swimming when we went, but still a place worth visiting! I recommend this tour.
