Tour guide was very informative and friendly, nothing was an issue and he couldn’t have been more helpful to anyone’s needs, excellent service. The lunch was great. Tiny improvement would be to have a card of the fruits to look at while the gentlemen is talking about them. Overall a great experience and would recommend highly.
