It was easy to get the tickets they called us the day before to let us know what time they were coming to pick us up at the hotel and picked us up from the hotel Even a few minutes in advance our guide Laura speaks English very well , she is friendly and thorough. We visited all the points of interest and ,with some free time, we had the opportunity to buy cold drinks to cool off in the middle of summer.
