Excellent and fun guide We had an excellent experience and I would highly recommend doing the private experience and request the guide Silvia if you can! Silvia was amazing, prompt and she had a precise communication. Her English was impeccable which made the tour really easy to understand. She had useful information and resources and also made it fun. We had a great day!
