A time with had

We had an amazing guy, Raul, who was very open and provided great details, and also gave us recommendations on places. We should eat at one of the best experiences. I have had a tour with them, and I recommend booking with the company. If you get him, you'll have an amazing experience. He was very thoughtful about the older people walking, and if it was too much for them, he greatly appreciated his hospitality.
