“We found Tampa Colorado more interesting than we had anticipated. Eduado was an excellent guide - personable and knowledgeable. Olenka guided us to Ballestas islands and was also good. She did a remarkable job of keeping us together in the crowds of a public holiday. Weather was cold on the boat section of the tour. However hot inland. An opportunity for a meal/snack break would have been good.”
