Thank You Very Much I hope See You Next Time.
Cesar was the best! His English is great and fully customized the tour to our liking. We told him what interested us and was changing plans as we went to accommodate us. He gave us history lessons ranging 400 years for Getsemani and Old Town, he really was incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel safe, and seemed to know half the people we encountered. We felt empowered to explore on our own, after our tour with Cesar. He even gave us recommendations for a private island boat tour that was amazing! Private beach, welcome drink, lunch; amazing. 10/10, you should hire Cesar. Plus, we fed wild monkeys!
