José gave us a very pleasant and interesting tour with a spectacular ending watching the sunset. 100% recommended Thank you very much!!
Very interesting and enjoyable. Jose knows the history of his city very well
The tour was very entertaining and very interesting. It is the best way to get to know a city as interesting as Trujillo. José Bordado, the guide, gave a very interesting, entertaining, and original presentation, demonstrating that he knows Trujillo like no one else.
José was a magnificent guide, he made us enjoy the tour
A visit that is worth it to get to know Trujillo. Luis, our guide, a great professional.
We did a free tour yesterday at 8:00 PM through Trujillo. Wonderful city, but even more so with a guide like José. Two long hours of visiting that flew by in a flash thanks to José's fun and at the same time impressive explanations. It was worth having done the free tour to learn about the history of this great monumental city.
If all history teachers were like José, more than one would have gotten an A. 😄 A very enjoyable tour, full of curiosities and told with passion. The end, coinciding with the sunset from the wall, was the best possible finishing touch. Thank you for helping us discover Trujillo in such a special way. Highly recommended!
Entertaining, historical, and very pleasant
