“We loved the village and the island, true paradise. My only two reasons for giving 4 stars is this is a whole day experience and you only get food at lunch which makes the day even longer. Make sure to take some water and some snacks to keep you going unless you can go without food for quite a while. Secondly the constant pressure to give tips like 5-6 times throughout the day was not to our liking. We actually ran out of cash in the end and couldn't give any to the bus driver which we thought was unpolite but couldn't do anything about it. So make sure you…”

The tour had a good pace and Alex was very accommodating. At one point, we saw a restaurant in the Alto and asked if we could have lunch there instead of the scheduled place. They went out of their way to accommodate us. One of the guides took others to the scheduled lunch place and one stayed with us so that we eventually caught up with them to continue the tour. Was a beautiful and a very informative day. Definitely recommend them.”
