A very enjoyable 3 hour tour with only one other couple, which made the experience even better. Our guide Antonio Villalobos was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour feel very relaxed, whilst being very informative. His suggestion to have lunch at the Paradore restaurant at the end of the tour was a great one! Fabulous food with beautiful views from the terrace. Highly recommend
