Fantastic guided tour! We were so thankful to our guide Gonzalo who was prepared for everything to make our evening stress-free. He was flexible, offered great suggestions, and he went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much as we possibly could. When our kids had questions, he either had the answer or looked it up before we got back from the next stop.

Excellent guide! Sam was very personal and loves his job. Loved the air conditioned bus and the Patomic River boat ride. We walked over 19,000 steps, so we were tired by the end of the day! Going with the guide took the stress off of trying to see all of this on your own.

Our tour with Black Hawk was excellent – Jorge Mesquita was delightful, fluent in 4 languages and amenable to our open agenda. We had not seen the MLKjr, WWII or Air Force memorials. New assets in an already remarkable city!

Guide was very helpful with our granddad who needed a wheelchair to get around. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would have been helpful if he had a mic some in the back couldn’t hear that well I found out later.

Super confident drive from Mili, all requests were taken into account, great hotspots were seen. Everything was really perfect and a great trip!
