“The day trip was perfect! The time spent on each stop was more than enough. The guide really gave his all to provide a nice experience. The only thing I could say that could be improved, is during pickup, you could have a sign or something to make it more clear which bus is which. There were many buses this morning and we had to check them one by one, to find ours. A more distinct sign could have been more helpful.”
