5.00A spectacularly beautiful and very interesting tour. Marta was a very friendly, helpful and well informed guide. She even gave us a detailed cloth map of the region after discovering that we were a couple of geographers! At the end of our tour Marta arranged a late lunch at a restaurant in San Pedro. It was a nice way to end a busy tour. Thank you so much Marta!
Wonderful!
