Using your ticket

I asked about Zayed or to mention that it has a tour with Bonzay Tour upon arriving at the restaurant "El Pez De Oro"

The advisable thing is to arrive between 5 to 10 minutes before the tour time, bring a towel, avoid using sunscreen or at least 30 minutes before starting, and don't forget that the bathroom fee is separate with the restaurant staff.
