Honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our host Eve was amazing — super friendly, so organised, and just had the best energy. She made everyone feel so comfortable and kept the vibes high the whole time.
We also had Alejandro as a trainee tour guide who was so passionate and knowledgeable.
The itinerary was packed with awesome activities that definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone (in a good way!).
And the group I did it with was incredible — such a fun bunch of people, and I’ve actually made some new friends from it! Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it
