David, our guide was super friendly and informative about the sites seen through the park and in the city. We had a bit of a hiccup initially when no one arrived at the meeting point at 10:30 as planned. But we reached out to the tour operator and they were quick to respond and reschedule us for 11:30 due to some unforeseen issues on their part. We went back and met in their building space which is being refurbished. Sadly, the other guests didn’t return, but lucky for us we got a private tour, and the weather ended up being beautiful. Great experience and we’re thankful it worked out. Would recommend. Ask for David. Cheers.
