Adrian was a wonderful tour guide. We saw everything on the walking tour and he had great local insights. The boat trip was a great way to end the day and I appreciated Adrian’s direction to be sure we had good seats!

Excellent tour guided by Madame Dolores Gonzales. We appreciated his presentation and his way of making us experience this exceptional architecture. Good surprise also that she was able to do the visit in French.
