Great planning and a great vacation by KimKim. We had several guides, but both Louis and Alex stood out above the rest. Their level of knowledge, interactions with us and command of the English language were superb. Cannot recommend them both enough.

Louis was the BEST guide! His level of knowledge and engagement were above and beyond. Wishing I had more time to do more of the beaches with him as a guide.

Louis was thoughtful, humorous, engaging and the most prepared with water for hot, hot days.

Our guide was not very engaging and little information to offer. She was unprepared for us, especially in not transporting us to the river cruise.

More engaged guide
Food
The lunch on the river cruise was one of our best meals.
