You have a guide (our was a nice young lady with brown hair in a bun) and a competent driver. The guide was very good at explaining directions and the trip. She spoke in Spanish and then in English. She kept everything on time and efficient which I appreciated. The tour goes to quite a few places so is a good value if you want to see a lot. You stop first in Muros a fishing town…”
