I booked this activity to surprise my husband for our wedding anniversary. The surprise effect was thanks to our totally perfect guide. A very high quality service and extreme kindness. Furthermore, my husband being American, our guide spoke French and English easily and he even took us where we wanted to go for lunch while describing the monuments he showed us along the way. We recommend it without hesitation; we have already planned to do it again one day with our children. Thank you very much and see you soon.

The ride was very nice, the driver also was very nice and helpful. The only downside is that we were expecting a Spanish speaking tour and it is not. The have a speaker that describes the sights which is not the same as having someone that speaks the language. Overall it is a good deal!

having the insights and perspective from someone who's already seen the entire area is such a help and makes for a more rewarding trip. awesome resource to have!

Eunice was great. He was very knowledgeable and a very safe driver. His restaurant recommendation was 👍🏾

Excellent Guide! 6 hour tour is not too much to go around the city! We recommend 😀
