5.00One of the best tours we have taken. All credit goes to our tour guide Enrique. He is a history aficionado and knows his stuff. He even gave us more information about the Royal Palace tour than the dedicated Royal Palace tour we took. Also gave us great local tips and recommendations that we were looking for. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
