Rodrigo was an excellent guide! HHe was really professional and enthusiastic. and he had a lot of interesting historical facts to share. He conveyed in a very engaging way, and I will remember what he told me very well. The story of Terry Fox in particular made a strong impression on me. I can really recommend Rodrigo as a guide.
