5.00Gustavo was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Clear and concise instructions and information, very well planned out route, with a constant building up of this incredible experience, culminating with the beautiful private palace, and everything in between. Including refreshment and bathroom break in the cleanest bathrooms in the facility. He pointed out all the best picture spots and gave us enough time to take them. Never felt rushed, but the 3+ hours and 5+km felt like a short walk. In the end he even managed to get us reservations to a great table in the Parador restaurant with beautiful views. Highly recommended!
