I would have never been able to see so much of the area in such little time without this tour. My tour guide Lillian was wonderful and extremely flexible. She spoke perfect English (I had several tour guides in Brazil who did not spoke enough English). It was great not having to worry about transportation and having someone who knows how which activity to do best at what time of the day and how to skip lines. I recommend visiting the aviary, it was amazing.
