Nice experience

We liked the tour in general. The guide was friendly, show us the most important spots and gave as plenty of time to discover the islands by our own. It was a bid cold once the sun was hiding but that was the weather condition in February. We suggest other visit to bring a warm clothes is you take this tour during the cold season. We recommend this tour.
