We did the tour on a Friday and our tour guide was Benny. He was very knowledgeable about the park and helpful with taking photos etc. the pace of the tour was fine. I am not a quicker walker more if a stroller and it was fine for me. A good 1.5 hrs in the park and we’ll worth the money

The organization is not very good since the address of the meeting point they gave us was not correct and we had to call the reservation center to tell them that there was no one waiting for us. It should be said that the solution was quick and the guide, Barbara, waited for us until we arrived, he made a fun and enjoyable tour the whole time.
