Very professional, punctual, organized and friendly, excellent agency to travel, I take 6 trips and have not had any news
I see you have added the word "walking" to this tour's description. I wish this qualifier had appeared prior to my booking the tour! I was NOT expecting a walking tour, and came unprepared without my walking sticks. I would NOT have booked the tour if I had known. That being said, tour guide Ronny was excellent as was his commentary, and he was very patient with me as I had to rest frequently. We also had to skip the latter part of the tour due to my being too tired! As such, I missed many of the charms of "The Pearl of the Pacific."
We had an excellent time touring the city with our expert guide Ronny. He was a very knowledgeable guy who enjoyed his job. Memorable stops include a walk through the Malecon district, making our way to El Faro lighthouse and spending time in the Admin area of the city. Ronnie took us to his favorite restaurant, and we ate a delicious bowl of Encebollado for lunch. We loved this tour.
