Didn't like the market. Thought it a waste of time as it was only fruit and vegetables

De route was erg mooi met een uitstekende chauffeur. Auto moet nodig vernieuwd worden. Gids was erg onduidelijk met zijn Engelse uitspraak. Er zouden drankjes worden geserveerd en proeverijen, deze waren niet uitgevoerd. Waar iedereen belangstelling voor had (6 personen) de kerk werd maar kort uitgevoerd.Het maken van de sigaren is interessant.

Everything was enjoyable and educational however the pot holes in the road and the speed bumps were excessive.

This trip was amazing, and shows you so much of the local culture. All in all, the best trip we have done on a holiday. Our guide JJ, was really knowledgeable and fun, and the driver was the same. Would really recommend this experience! Great fun, and a really good day out.

+) La naturaleza de los lugares, su gente y la fascinante experiencia de un tour local. -) La descordinacion en un hotel en donde existen dos Lobbys y se perdió más de 45 minutos esperando a dos pasajeros.

Big thanks to our guide, we got lot of useful info. Whole crew was excellent.
