The guide was polite and kind, he can speak English, the pick up was on time, but the trip to San Ignacio was very long. Around 3.5 hours from city Centre, lunch at the restaurant was quite good.

Do NOT use this tour if you don’t understand Spanish, even though the tour says English! Only the guides at the mines and mission speak English. The 6 hr drive the driver/guide only spoke in Spanish. Could not understand hence did not know where to meet, time, whether stopping for lunch, for how long etc. The tour also stopped for a marketing trip at a mate factory without informing before hand and the guides there all spoke only Spanish. The unnecessary stop delayed returning and the tour was closer to 13 hrs than 10 hrs. But the pick up went great, van was clean and sufficiently comfortable.

The company responsible, Tangol tours should be avoided at all costs. The were unprofessional, admit that they made many mistakes, yet somehow still blame US (the victims of their incompetence) for having not been able to participate in their tour. We were left sitting in front of (we assume) their former offices in the early morning while their bus was looking for a completely different customer (booked for a different day) at the other end of town. GYG help was very responsive but neither we nor they had any contact info for the tour guide (our only contact was Tangol’s office administrator who discovered our predicament at 9 am when she started work: our tour was long gone by then…). Yet this is still somehow all our fault so neither refund nor compensation is on offer. You are warned

One of the places had English guide but the other didn't, which is disappointed because we did ask for English tour
