Franklin was a great guide and loved the tour
Franklin made the four so fun and had such great energy, while also very informative of Comuna 13 history. The food was delicious, the performance was amazing of the dancers, and Franklin also had great music! Took us to good picture spots. Well worth the price, and had a lot included in the time!
