“The bus ride on the winding road was crazy insane. Our driver Miguel did an exceptional job of navigating the road and all the bike riders we encountered. The walk to the beach through the tunnels was remarkable. The boat ride was a great way to see the rugged cliffs along the coast. The tram ride was very crowded and the train goes mostly through tunnels, so you don’t see much from that end of the tour.”
