5.00This tour was a delight! It was both informative and interesting. Our guide, Jorge, was great at engaging with the kids and adults in our group, and was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the the history of the area. We enjoyed learning about the influence of various cultures on the local diet and ate so many new and delicious things! We especially loved the pastry shop which we returned to for breakfast the next morning!
