I must say that I was very upset with the local contact person. The day before I left for the trip I was contacted by the supplier who needed to change the date. I contacted via email never heard back, called Viator in US and they told me they would contact the local person and gave me a number to call. Never heard from him went on the tour for the date that it was switch. The guide was okay, the weather was bad rained and I left early.
