Great experience! Tour guide and driver were awesome! Beautiful views and great photo opportunities.

Relaxing and comfortable and the museum is cool too. The mud is thick so you don’t need to learn how to swim and they will help you clean off. Please be sure to tip!

What a great experience to learn about the history and salt lake. Especially the once in a lifetime experience of the Volcano. Everyone should try at least one time. It's an experience you won't forget. And you will not sink! Lol trust me...our tour guide was great. They picked us up at the hotel on time. When we got to the volcano we were basically the only ones there enjoying the mud volcano. Group of 5. Upon exiting we walked down to the water and the ladies helped wash the mud off. We left a generous tip as all the helpers involved shared the funds...

Pickup was smooth and communication was good. Was a longer drive than we thought but was ok. We had a fun time at the mud bath itself, the persons doing the massaging were a little pushy. The pink sea wasn't pink at all, but we were aware of that beforehand.

Be careful with this tour. It could be great, but ours wasn't. The van sent to drive you is old and slow and the air conditioning is not good. We visited Galerazamba, but they didn't tell us the pink lake wasn't pink until we were there. It may not be pink when you go there. The volcano was good. We were the first one picked up, and I would assume the last one to be dropped off. They were having trouble organizing the drop off, so we got out and had to take an Uber home. The trip took a long time with no food or ability to buy food.

Would have been 5 stars but the Van is so small we had a full group of 12 and the Van “holds” 12 but not 12 adults. It was tight. Beyond that great tour. Yuliana was awesome. Explained the day and what was expected. Very nice. The salt lake was interesting. The volcanic mud was a fun experience. If I were to do it again I’d look into a private tour.

I had originally booked the Volcano and Galerazamba tour. It wasn’t until an hour before I was to be picked up that I was informed that my original tour was cancelled. I was given the option of doing the tour the next day or cancelling all together. I was quite upset and it was only after I vocalized this that I was offered to go on the Volcano only tour. This should have been the first option- and should have been told the day before, not an hour before pick up. I choose the Volcano only tour, as it was still an activity I really wanted to do. The mud bath, massage and experience was excellent. There definitely was some confusion on the part of the women who help wash you off, as to their service being paid for. I had paid for all 4 services to the same guy who had helped take photos, and had to have him confirm to the woman that I had already paid. Overall the day and experience was great. My guide, Sam, was very helpful and kind.

This trip was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide Roberto made this excursion perfect and he was extremely friendly and professional.

The volcano and museum experience was awesome. The driver and tour guide were very informative and hospitable. The vehicle took away frim the experience. It was delapitated, lots of rust, the air condition did not work well and it cut off on us 3 times as well as stalled. The fumes from the vehicle was a bit overwhelming. The driver had to put water in the radiator I assume to keep it from overheating. The lunch was ok, we ordered the grilled chicken. It was a little dry, overcooked and tough to chew. The staff at the lunch stop was very hospitable.

The guide did not speak English, as promised. We only went to the volcano and none of the other stops ( salt flats, museum). The operator told Viator it was due to the weather. It was raining at the beginning of the day, but certainly not storming. When we left the volcano, it was not raining. The tour guide did not speak English, as promised, so nothing was explained to us. As a matter of fact, he left us on the vehicle with just the driver, who also did not speak English. The driver proceeded to try to drop us off at the wrong location for our hotel; near, but not at our hotel where they picked us up. The transport vehicle was old and noisy. Also, be prepared to tip at least five people for the volcano experience (the driver, the guide, the persons volunteering to take your photos, give you a massage in the mud and the ladies who wash you off in the rive)r. They do this for tips, which I understand, but it seems they were demanding more than what some people were giving. This was an overall BAD experience.
