Highly recommended - This trip was amazing, the greenhouse was a great stop on a cold day allowing us to warm up with fresh tomato soup, Our guide was very knowledgeable and welcomed any questions we had. This tour also had plenty of stops for food and resting throughout the day. As a bonus, there is a nice 20-minute hiking path behind the geyser.

Beautiful sights and great tour guide - The pick up went smoothly. The tour and guide were excellent. I highly recommend this tour. The only issue was at the end. We had to transfer to a shuttle to return to our hotel. It was not a quick progress. We had to wait for passengers arriving from the airport.

Had been a huge experience with a good Guide - The tour was quite ok but the treatment we got from the guide, in front of all the other participants, was terrible. This reflected the whole experience.
