Monkey Business in Monkeyland!!!!
2025-04-07
Floricel was a good, entertaining guide. Hendri was a really good driver and managed to navigate streets and turns I know I never could have. This trip was amazing. Monkeyland was fun and we had a great time. I loved the trip to the market place cause I always like to try local food when I travel. The trip around the city showing us important sites and statues from their history was nice. 100% would do again. Bargain priced in my opinion and worth it. Six stars all the way around.
Don’t book! Just hire one of the amazing guides on the street for 50% of the price!!

First, we waited 90 minutes before being added to another tour that had already started, meaning we missed a significant portion of the experience. Additionally, I was provided with multiple audio guides, none of which worked, making it impossible to follow along.
The tour was advertised to run from 10 AM to 1 PM (or 2 PM), but it did not start until nearly noon. The tour company keeps saying we didn’t start that late because it was a 10:35 am start, but my booking on Viator says 10:00 am in the title. By 3 PM, we had only seen two locations on the itinerary, and we ultimately had to leave due to an unfortunate incident where someone suffered a head injury. Given the amount of time spent waiting and the poor organization, I feel that I did not receive the experience I paid for.
While our guide, Nacho, did his best, the group was far too large for one person to effectively lead, making it difficult to get in-depth information. On top of that, the overall quality was poor, and I essentially just wandered around for four hours seeing things I could have covered in 30 minutes on my own.
