He took care of everyone, whether it was being the camera man, or making sure we were enjoying the tour. We were able to see the top attractions on the southern part of the island and everything listed in the description was met. The lunch provided would support pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan diet. The libations flowed freely. And although there was a lot of driving, which is unavoidable, the views are breathtaking.”
