We had a wonderful time with our guide Aurora! She is very knowledgeable of the city and fun to talk to during the tour. She was very understanding and accommodating of us have a bit of jet lag since we landed the day before the tour. There were spots already picked out although she is very receptive of feedback if we wanted to stay at a stop of a moment to take pictures or take in the scenery. 10/10 would love to have as a guide again!
