Private tour was fantastic. Our guide catered to our interests and meandered us thru like there was no one else there (& it was packed)! Explanations were excellent & easy to hear with audio device.

We had a family of 6 and were picked up promptly in our private van with plenty of space. Dropped off and our tour guide was waiting. The lines were not very long although it was busy and our tour guide kept us well informed and moving through the busy crowds. We all had a fantastic time. Only one thing was that we wanted some time to shop after but we were taken to one specific shop. I understand that there’s probably some sort of commission for this and I still bought from the store but I did not prefer it.

Much much expensive for the experience, we was 4 people, we paid $1.000,00 for 3 hours tour with a $30 ticket, no option to continue to San Pedro, we must to go alone, and no more other service add. Normally you can do rhis same tour with $150 or less. Very Bad And Expensive experience.

It was good for skip the line, but overall I didn’t feel like it was worth the hefty price tag. I think a small group tour would have been sufficient and a lot less money.
