Friendly, accomodating and great value. Jakob was fantastic as a guide and really helped us to get the most out of the day despite having injuries and limitations with walking. Snacks and lunch were included and were tasty. Definitely add on the jetboat, totally worth it. Highly recommend.

The scenery, as expected, was beautiful. Our guide, Clive, was knowledgeable and interesting as well as responsive to questions. We made more stops than were on the listed itinerary, some for photo-ops, some for hikes and some for optional jet boating. One concern for us was that the tour was listed as 8 hours (approx.). In reality, it turned out to be over 11 hours. This was not due to difficulties, but looking back it was organized for this length (the train was scheduled to pick us up at 4:20, followed by a three hour train ride and then delivery to our hotels by van). It caused us to miss our dinner reservation. There is nothing wrong with an 11 hour tour but it should be clear before the reservation is made.
Nice day

This could be good if one had not been exploring the country by car or on foot. For us, the first stop was a waste of time for everyone who did not elect to pay extra to get on the jet boat. The tracks run very near the road, so the scenery is similar both ways. Otherwise, the guide and other stops were very nice and enjoyable.
