Homero was AMAZING! We had the best tour! So many great tacos and we ended with a wonderful gelato and even had a margarita. He did an amazing job! The only thing to note for people booking this tour is make sure you can ride a bike well and you definitely ride on cobblestone streets so if you have any sort of back problems, I would not book this tour. Otherwise, we had so much fun!

The tour was amazing!!! We really had a great time! He customized our tour in our own preference and needs. He made sure we are having fun and comfortable on the entire tour. He is really passionate and commited on what he is doing. We will recommend him to our friends for sure.
