Very pleasant.
The tour was very enjoyable, even though the weather was not entirely on our side as it rained a lot all day. Kevin explained everything and answered all our questions; he was a very good tour guide. They provided us with umbrellas for the rain and headphones to hear since it was a large group. It is a pleasant walk, the food was tasty, and the transportation was very clean and safe despite the rain. My applause goes to the driver (I don't remember the name) and the guide!
