5.00It is a great journey through the train market and the floating market, all very curious, impressive and beautiful, to reach the floating market is a 40 min walk. By boat through the mangroves in the middle of the jungle, I loved this, tb the guides are very attentive and helpful, share their chuchas and everything , a very nice gesture, for all this and the price is a bargain

5.00The tour guide Opal was great, constantly tried to make our group feel comfortable. After some temples everything looks the same, but it is also only the highlights included in this tour, but that is all I could have done. Finally, a must see.
