5.00Visiting the Lighthouse to Columbus and the Colonial Zone was a wonderful experience for us. We were impressed with the history, architecture and unique atmosphere of these places. The Lighthouse to Columbus left us speechless for its majesty, and touring the colonial streets was like time travel. We also want to highlight the excellent work of the guide, always attentive and very knowledgeable, as well as the professionalism of the private driver, who made the tour safe and comfortable. Thanks to both of us we were able to enjoy this experience even more, which we would definitely repeat delighted.

5.00Wow, it was incredible to walk through a colonial city that is more than 500 years old, and although some structures have been remodeled, there are others that have never been touched. It's beautiful to learn about history, and even more so when the guide is really well-prepared.
