5.00I went with my mom from Argentina and it was an amazing tour, our designated driver, Gabriela very friendly and friendly, and our guide in Guatemala, Manuel a genius! The only thing to note is that it is very far, about 5 and a half hours out and the same back. The time on site is barely 3 or 4 hours at most but taking that out, the rest great!
lots of driving!!!!...
