“It was absolutely awfull. The guide said we should pay 20 dollars more, to look at some terrible circumstances for the poor poor animals, mostly birds sitting in small cages it was horrible. So we cancelled the rest of the activity and we went back to the hotel. So only a little ride in a car. I Will not recommand this trip to anyone. Its animal cruelty and I Will report it. Besides I paid 2 times this trip, because the first one did not go through. And that is really bad bad service.”
