The tour starts very early. But that is exactly what is worth it, because you can enjoy the peace and quiet in the pleasant, cool morning hours. Herson was a very good guide. He shines with expertise and is always in a good mood. We would definitely do it again!

The tour guides were great. Very informative and happily answered all the questions. I had to part from the group early to make it to the airport. They were graciously helping me navigate it all and they helped with my luggage. Highly recommend.

The program was very interesting. Besides the amazing flight, I really enjoyed the obsidian workshop and the breakfast! I can only recommend. It's definitely worth the money.

The tour was well organised, and the tour guide knowledgeable.
