“They could've cancelled my booking because I was the only participant (like the other tour providers would do) BUT they didn't! Kudos to that!

I guess that's one perk of being solo. 😂 Thank you too for the lucky bracelet! I loved it! Made my wishes!😇🤞🏼 Thank you also to the tour operator, Luis Diego, for being responsive and for checking in on the day of the tour if my guide already found me.:) Awesome people! Nothing…”
