My husband and I took the half day Redeemer and Sugarloaf tour, and we surely recommend it! We managed the booking and coordinating with ease. The tour company was professional, and the tour was fun and well paced. Our guide, Meilin, was kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. She truly added to our positive experience!
