After our tour with our guide, hector, we were happy that we actually booked the tour. He was very knowledgeable and patient, answering our questions or clarifying any misunderstandings. He really knows his stuff and it shows.

Gio was a great guide, very informative and kept a great pace. I learned so much. The Anthropology Museum was my favorite and I didn't feel that I missed out on anything. Just note this is a long tour for walking so make sure you have a good breakfast. I was very tired after but it was a great tour!
