Fantastic Guide - Our guide Mauricio was amazing and had a great sense of humour. He gave a rrally good English and Spanish description throughout. The food was fantastic, the driver was very professional and competent. The bus was modern, clean and comfortable. We wanted to leave a generous tip, but we hadn't been informed that we needed to pay the park entrance fees in cash, leaving us with no money.
