Comical & engaging tour as long as you could hear ‘em.

5.00Thomaso was our tour guide. Audio ear phones were nice but he should put it on his head so his mic goes with his head turns, instead it was around his neck so when he turned his head, he would lose most of the volume on the earphones. Otherwise, he was a good tour guide, funny, very knowledgeable and personable. He interacted with the customers frequently. He made sure we stuck together well also. He could use a tad more practice on his English as some of his words were hard to decipher. Great time & amazing sites.
