Excellent
Thank you very much, David and Alenjandro, for everything!! This very complete tour is highly recommended.
So many things, so much fun, and we made good use of our time.
We loved it; we visited many places in one day, it was all very good. We highly recommend José, Lady, and the driver! The information we learned was very interesting; the stairs of Peñol were challenging, but we made it! At Hacienda la Manuela, we had a great time riding the ATVs and in the super picturesque square; it was beautiful, and the cinnamon rolls were delicious. And the high point of Chocó was very funny with the llamas and fish, but it was a lot of fun, 100% recommended.
Phenomenal
César and the driver jimmy were absolutely amazing. Cesar was informative and had great humor and transitioning with his words. He didn’t make anyone feel left out he spoke both Spanish and English making every person on tour feel comfortable. We had done a bunch of activities. Any additional things you wanted to do on tour, he made his best efforts to accommodate for you and that’s what I liked. I hope for the future I have him as my tour guide again. Thank you for the best experience.
