The term "mini" group feels a bit like a misnomer, as the group was 15 people max. On other booking sites, this would usually be described as a small group and priced a bit lower. We did have some difficulty understanding our guide at times—while she spoke good English, the pronunciation of some words was hard to catch, and we found ourselves half-lost throughout the explanations.
