“This was a fantastic day trip and although the time spent at the border made for a very long day, it was well worth it! There was so much to see and the lunch was very good. At times it was difficult to hear the guide, Abdul, because the group was big and he had to shout out the info in Spanish and English each time. Recommend to bring cash for tips, souvenirs, etc, and also tissues for the bathroom :)”
