It was amazing tour . Really we enjoyed He is cheerful, respectful and co-operative And he show us all the famous places and the the stops to take photos
Great tour w/Marissa. Comfortable van for the 10 of us on the tour. Saw all the sights we wanted to see and got us back to the port in plenty of time to make our departure. Had time to have lunch at a local restaurant which was excellent. Marisa made sure she kept track of all of us and took plenty of pictures of us along the way. Highly recommend. Much better than a cruise ship tour.
Our tour met in the morning and spent about 8 hours with our guide! We had such a wonderful time! And our guide was so lovely, showing us all the well known and even some hidden gems! I can’t wait to go back <3
