5.00Oscar was a great guide. We had about 20 people - not too many but Oscar did a great job keeping tabs on everyone. This tour is one you should do at the beginning of your visit as you may discover some things you'll want to go back to. The finishing afternoon catamaran tour was very nice. Had calm seas and nice weather. The marina area was nice and the staff was very attentive.
Need to be in decent shape for this tour

5.00The explanation of the history was fantastic. Enrique was a great tour guide and very accommodating with mobility challenges. Enrique used his local connection at a popular restaurant to get us a table, which was very unexpected. I would ask for him if you can.
