Not worth the price - Not worth the price. The information given was not very elaborate - nothing we couldn’t have gathered on basis of books

Okay. - A little expensive for the type of provision. Restaurant without further ado, very good guide, punctual driver. This excursion is taken to avoid the problem of researching how to go alone, but it could be done by reducing a third of the price....
