“A place this beautiful needs very little help to make it enjoyable, but Mery (our tour guide) did just that! She provided great commentary throughout the tour from cultural to historical perspectives on the area to great tips on what to do during your free time, which there is plenty for each place. **Tip: if you get motion sickness, be prepared for a lot of winding roads to each destination. It is manageable but it felt like our driver was drift racing at times 😬 10/10”

“We started the tour at exactly 2:05 PM. It was incredibly interesting, and I found it exciting to walk through the narrow tunnels.
