Mistake made RIGHT !!!!

We got left from the place THEY told us to be..... However, they did everything they could to make it right.....AND THEY DID! I will definitely recommend using them! Our guides were very knowledgeable and even more personable. Our guide and boat driver for this excursion were Spot On! Some of the nicestest people u will meet! Worth the experience!

Great Experience

the whole tour was fantastic. pick up from our resort hotel was smooth and the van was clean. Alain drove and provided feedback and commentary of the various parts of the city we passed. Glass factory tour was brief but with our 4 year old it was a nice touch. We skipped the tequila tasting but spent extra time at the Chileno Bay (probably since we ended up with just our family on the tour on that particular day). Boat tour was a highlight, as Captain David was awesome at navigating and providing historical and lively context of the Arches, the people, customs and culture. Snorkling was limited to the shore area at the Chileno Bay beach since the waves are quiet powerful but that is to be expected. The Beach is beautiful and the tour team provided lawn chairs, umbrellas and a nice packaged lunch. 10/10 would recommend for families.
