5.00Very enjoyable tour and learned much about the country's history and culture. The guide was amazing and enjoyable to spend the day with - he was very knowledgable about each historic site. Ended the day at Cobo winery, and one could not help but buy a few bottles after trying the offerings using local grapes. If I could do my trip all over again, I would book every tour with this company.
Excellent choice 👌
