The tour was very informative and extensive. Our guide happily answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable.Publicado en Tripadvisor Мария КVerificada A very nice evening walk. Also kind of eye opening about everything around you! Our tour guide explained a lot of things and it was visible he liked what he was doing. He helped us with taking photos, answered all of our questions and was very considerate of the altitude sickness we were experiencing. He asked us a couple of times if the walking speed was okay, which I really appreciated. The views were stunning and he knew a lot of locals, which is always a green flag for me. Also for some of the locations he was able to show them from different angles, so there weren't as many tourists around!Publicado en Tripadvisor João TVerificada Tour perfeito Passeio muito bom, percurso perfeito e bem no tempo sugerido.
