Our guide Daniel and our tour guide for the Ruins were so knowledgeable and were able to share so many stories/ facts with us. Going through the caves was the highlight of the day- I was a little nervous and scared at first but Daniel was very experienced in the caves which made us all feel more comfortable and safe swimming through them.”
