Best tour we have ever had. From the moment our driver Peter picked us up to meeting our tour guide”mama” Linda. She was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly kind. She was also very patient and answered all of our questions. She’s flexible took as we deviated a bit from the tour. The lines were 3 hours long but we didn’t wait in any lines! Highly recommend this company and tour!!!
