A smaller group, in your language

About this experience

Two things set this tour apart: six guide languages, Dutch among them, and the choice of a small group or a private tour. The listing does not state a group size, but the small-group format and the private option suit families and couples who don't want to walk with a crowd. The guide handles your entry, and the helmet is included.

You meet inside Restaurante El Kiosko, near the bar, and the listing asks you to be there 20 minutes early. From El Kiosko it is about 15 minutes on foot to the entrance. The nearest shuttle stop is Stop 2. The shuttle fare is payable on site, so carry cash. Allow three to four hours for the tour.

Who should look elsewhere? If English or Spanish is fine and you're happy in a bigger group, the guided tour with entry meets right at the control booth. If your goal is the gorge and not the commentary, the plain entry ticket gives you the same boardwalk.

• Guides in Dutch, English, French, Spanish, German or Italian
