This is really not a tour for English speaking tourists. We were the only ones on our bus. Maria was great at making sure we felt comfortable and know the history about the places we went. I didn’t like that we were bounced around from bus to bus and a different group everyday. Since we were the only ones that spoke English other than the guide, we didn’t really speak to anyone and make any friends. I felt like some of the stops could have been longer. We would stop at a cute village for 45 minutes and 15 of that would be standing in line for the restrooms with everyone else on the bus. Overall we were happy with the tour. Maria is the best and if she could have been with us the whole time it would have been better. I would recommend this if you speak good Spanish so that you could communicate with other travelers.
