5 national parks and many beautiful sites in 7 days
The tour was well organized from pick-up to drop off. One important thing to keep in mind is that this type of bus tour covers a very long distance, you will visit many sites with limited but enough time to get a taste of these places but I was content with the amount of sites we visited.
