Juan Manuel was great. Very informative and attention to detail as he explained everything so well and vividly. He gave us local recommendations for food and places to go. I enjoyed the tour with my family. I do recommend this tour at the start of your trip to familiarize yourself with everything around you.
Our tour guide was great! Very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. Also changed the drop-off point to where we wanted.
