“It was a good tour albeit with one glitch. The direction to Envatour location was confusing. The Uber driver dropped us off on the opposite side of the street. We were not able to communicate in Spanish so someone mistook us for clients to a massage hut. Fortunately we realized the mistake and eventually were able to find Marina Kaybal across the street.

“It was a great tour overall. Marcos was great and very accommodating throughout the tour.

“We didn't end up getting to go on the excursion due to the port being closed ( not the tour company's fault by any means) winds were high that day.
