Jason –
Safety was our top priority when booking, and this tour delivered. The vehicle was in excellent condition, the driver was courteous, and everything was right on schedule. On the train, the staff was professional but still friendly, making the whole trip enjoyable. The Cantaritos stop was a lively end to a day where we felt looked after from start to finish.
