“We had an amazing time! Everything was well organized and no unpleasant surprises. Our guide speaks very good English and makes the cruise very interesting. Next time, I'll ask to spend more time, a walk between 2 and 4 hours would have been perfect. We are still close to the city but there was a lot of vegetation and calm, that's what I wanted. Thanks!
