Our guide Gabriel was the best possible guide.
He met all our needs and was very accommodating and helpful since I had mobility issues.
He arrived promptly to pick us up and was vey attentive.
He was very informative and a very personable friendly fellow.
He made the tour time with him very enjoyable and relaxed.
Very Highly recommend him . -
Our driver was great! However our tour guide was extremely hard to understand.... very soft spoken and we had to strain to hear him. Two of the stops on the tour were closed for remodeling and that was very disappointing because they were listed as “admission included” . Felt as if we paid for something we didn’t get. It was a $600.00 + tour
