Fantastic trip, highly recommended! The guide, Carlos, was amazing—tireless and very knowledgeable. The driver was excellent, truly five stars. The only downside was the van. It was in poor condition, and I felt extremely cold—very cold indeed—which made the journey uncomfortable. Only after the first stop, when I spoke to the driver, was the air conditioning turned on. Additionally, the cup holders were broken and had rubbish in them. Despite this, the experience itself was wonderful, and I would still highly recommend the trip!

Dear E640ELbrunas, We appreciate the time you took to share your experience and opinion with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and Carlos’ guiding, though we’d like to understand your temperature experience better—were the AC settings too low when you felt cold, or did it take time for the AC to kick in after you spoke with the driver? We will certainly take your suggestions into consideration to improve our tours. Best regards, The Amigo Tours Team Jenny

Jay was amazing as our tour guide. We knew exactly where we were going at all times, he gave us very detailed information of all the places we visited. He gave us plenty of time to visit the sites and offered to take pictures of us throughout the trip. He allowed time for shopping and made sure we had bathroom breaks as well as pointing out places to eat.
