My husband and I booked this tour and it was worth every penny. We were picked up right in front of our hotel. We especially loved the rafting in the crystal-clear water. The lunch was simple but satisfying. The guides were very helpful and energetic. I would highly recommend this trip for its beautiful views.

Nothing to complain about—the whole day was brilliant from start to finish. I would highly recommend this trip, especially considering the very affordable price of around £30. I went solo and even made a few friends along the way. A big thank you to Eric for organizing everything.
