Everything was arragend fast and well. We really liked the guide, and my child (7) was interested in everything she said. Recommend

Highly recommend this for any grandparent traveling with kids. It was such a relief to have a guide navigating the crowds at the Sanctuary while we just kept an eye on the kids. The explanation of the guide was perfect and real, you could hear his faith. Also, the private transport was a lifesaver for us.
-
Perfect day trip for our two families. The kids loved being together and the guide did a great job tailoring the stories so all the children stayed interested. It was such a relief not to worry about tickets or timing for a large group.
