Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Interacting with the monkeys was a highlight of the trip—such a fun and unique experience! However, I did find the excursion to be somewhat artificial and overly touristy. It felt a bit commercialized at times, but overall, it was still a great experience, and I’m glad we went.”
