5.00Dennis was our guide and he was fantastic- so knowledgeable and interesting, and delightful to spend hours with! He picked us up from the dock, and gave us a little tour of the city, introducing us to local history and culture. Then we went out to the ruins, and he made every bit of it fascinating and accessible. He had a great way of explaining through stories and is very personable. I highly recommend him
Just what we needed in a day before we went to the airport.
