Very good tour with a very good guide. Meeting place was clear and easy to check in. The details on the tour were well presented and the small group setting was exactly what we wanted.

Tour guide was amazing, she made sure other visitors weren’t in our way of seeing everything. She was very knowledgeable. Even though this was a VIP tour with a smaller group you are still in there with a lot of other visitors/tours. Completely worth going early and skipping the line.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
