We did the Sal Experience Tour with Chan and cannot say enough positive things about him and the tour. He works hard and is extremely accommodating and attentive to his guests. His communication is perfect and he answers every question patiently. He really goes the extra mile because he cares about his job and that we have a great time. There are many companies who do this trip - Sal Experience is the one to big with. We had booked this trip after having a bad experience in the booking process with another company and were very glad that we had issues with someone else, so we could end up doing this tour with Chan. It was a great value and a great time.miros_awad380
