Our tour guide, Domingo, provided a very informative tour, yet provided plenty of room for our own exploring. I brought my 10 year old grandson and appreciated that Domingo made certain the tour was enjoyable for his younger interests, as well. The small size allowed for more flexibility to linger longer at certain points of interest. We were very happy with our tour and learned so much. Thank you.
