Our tour guide was Amazing! Leondardo was very informative and fun to chat with. We were a small group of only 4 people and found our guide to be exceptional in his knowledge and experience.
Very knowledgeable tour guide with great stories. She was with us for over three hours even though it was a 2.5 hour tour. Tour was for 6 and there was only 7 people. Very pleased with the tour!
