“Junior and Valeria are a gem. Valeria explained everything in detail prior to the day and Junior was our amazing guide. not only he explains everything about the place and its history he is also very careful and patient. The route is super scenic, the timings are well counted and the security is a priority. The experience is also seen in the details: from the headband given as a gift to the sanitary cap given to be used with the helmet. TOTALLY recommend”
