Well organized

Our tour started first in Washington and we were scared to start on day 3, but little by little we saw everything super organized, the hotels very well, comfortable, we spent the 4 days without problem and the excellent tours.

Excellent excursion to see a lot in a short time. Many hours of travel by bus during the days as the distances are very long.

Excellent excursion quite illustrative and experienced guides. Good hours and the places that are known are beautiful.
