Overpriced and nothing individuals canā€™t do on their own. 1. Mark your meeting point with a sign. You know where youā€™re at, we tourist donā€™t! 2. Ticket should include access to the top of statue for that price. 3. Guide was nice.

Dear Esther_D, Thanks for your review. We are glad to know you liked your guide. Our team always aims to provide the best experience we can for our guests. Regarding the tour price, it is included tickets entrance, VAT, transportation from the meeting point to the venue, and the guide fee. If you were going to visit the venue without a group tour, you would end up spending more without a guide. Please note that the top of the statue is currently closed for group tours. Our guides hold our sign at the meeting point to be easily identified. Be assured we will take into consideration your feedback. If you have any comments you would like to address with me, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] at any time. Kind regards, Jhonas.

We had a Saturday afternoon tour, on a very hot day. Christian was our guide and, because it was just our small group of 3, he was able to customize the tour to accommodate our 6 year old. He was knowledgeable and flexible. Very much recommend him and this tour!
