Our guide, Roberto, was excellent! His knowledge of history was deep, and his enthusiasm boundless. He answered every question the group of 6 had and was not afraid to tackle some of the more controversial topics. Roberto paced the walk well with lots of stops in the shade and a break for refreshments. Thank you Roberto!
