Customer Reviews
This tour was absolutely phenomenal. We really enjoyed the tour guides, their expertise, and how well they accommodated our bilingual group. What I loved the most was how the tour focused on how the communities thrives - so often such tours focus on the hardships and less so on the abundance. 10000/10 would definitely recommend!
Beautiful people and an amazing community and culture
Very welcoming. Love to learn about the culture and how it’s still thriving today. Tour guide Romeo was knowledgeable and nice.
