We were guided by Gloria. She has been very professional. She speaks Spanish, good English and also a bit of French. Explanations were clear and she's been patient and caring for the whole group. On top of that, the bus had proper A.C which is not always the case for all companies. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Gloria
A wonderful trip for the family. Well organized. We have experienced so many interesting things. The guide is very responsible too.
An interesting tourist option for a city that has made ashlar its identity. Therefore, white city. Access still needs to be improved, but everything is fine.
