Unforgettable Personalized Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an unforgettable tour with an incredibly knowledgeable guide. We started our day at the local market for some delicious birria breakfast, went to a museum, bought tickets to see an orchestral performance at the theatre, and then toured and learned about the city and it's people. I wanted to see a library and we made a stop there just for me! We got to see the city's beautiful churches and eat yummy pastries. My boyfriend wanted to know about some of the artisanal local beers, and we ended the tour there.

A great experience with a great guide

Published on Nov, 2024

Diego was a great and knowledgeable guide. He new all the local history and just about every building. Took us to some spots we'd never would have found on our own. He took us to breakfast and to get some bread at local spots that were amazing. Highly recommend this tour.
