Victoria is an amazing, informative and friendly guide. The timing was perfect and the transportation picked us up and dropped us off in a timely fashion. It was the right balance between being part of an organized excursion and having free time to wonder around. Victoria suggested good excursions options and restaurants reccomendations. My mother and I enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
