Improvements

Need to improve the condition of transportation (shredded windshield and shock absorber beating a lot) and safety (guide was guide and driver at the same time)

Overpriced and 45 minutes late!

The day started badly, with the driver arriving 45 minutes late. It then got worse. Although the tour description said that admission fees were free, they were not. We had to pay $35 to enter the park, and another $10 for Milodon Cave. This tour operator does not actually run the tour, it subcontracts. So we were on a bus with 13 other people, all of whom had paid about half the price that we did. The tour operator declined to help offset the additional charges. So, yes, the tour is good. But, find another tour operator, as this one is extremely over priced.
