We enjoyed Hector, our well versed guide. He was polite and respectful of the various languages and cultures onboard the bus. A lovely gentleman provided guitar music and singing along the way. Our driver was skilled with the traffic and narrow streets. We had a wonderful lunch, met some interesting people, and enjoyed the museums listed in the brochure, especially the pre-columbian gold museum.
