The individual locations were amazing for sure, but what took it to a lifetime memorable experience was all the knowledge, fun, and customization our tour guide brought to it. We had an amazing time with Eduardo and appreciated that he took the time to learn about us and our interests. If he saw we reacted to something he’d make a mental note for related points later on. You can tell he loves his work, his clients, his country and its heritage. This was 100% worth the money.”
