“Amazing! First- Johnny was the best tour guide ever! Very helpful and explained the entire trip and estimated timing. During the hike - he stopped and took pictures for us in the most beautiful places my kids loved him-he also took pictures on my phone of iguanas, birds, monkeys, and other animals through his binoculars- so they were clear and up close - absolutely above & beyond.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-24
