He let us take pictures and appreciate the moment and the place, without any rush. The only downside was the mediocre quality of the audio system. A couple of times, the receiver lost connection with the transmitter, some other times the sound crackled pretty bad. Otherwise, it was awesome and the Mesquita is just Magical !”
