Our tour guide, Maria, was fantastic whom told us great history about the 6 monasteries including the geology of the area. We visited 3 monasteries of which Varlem was the best. She was very passionate and funny. I would highly recommend this tour and having Maria as a guide.Ankur

Our guide, Nicolás, was very nice and friendly, and he told you the historical and cultural facts in a very pleasant way. A 10 for the excursion, although those of you with vertigo should be careful.View original review in Spanish

Ottima La cordialità delle guide e la precisione della loro gestione. Discutibili gli autisti dei pullman che non hanno mai contato le persone a differenze di quanto fatto dalle guide in ogni tratta.
