We explained that we would leave right away, but that it would take 15 minutes to get there. The tour operator was quite . . . aggressive and wanted to know why we couldn't be there in 5 minutes.

“While it ended being a good experience, we had booked an English tour only to find out that it was a Spanish tour. There were 4 of the 14 guests who did not speak or comprehend Spanish. Gabby our Guide was very accommodating to us but it certainly was not fair to either her or the other guests that she was not informed that she had non Spanish speaking guests on board. As a guide she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her. In addition there was a problem with the microphone and audio system There was English audio on the boat ride. I highly recommend this tour .…”
