The best tour we have ever taken and would not hesitate to use them again. Martin is awesome! From the time we booked until we arrived the emails to and from were helpful and you could tell they wanted to make your visit the best possible. We ended up with 11 folks in our group and they all said it was awesome. You could tell from the start that Martin loves his city and showing it off. I really doubt you could find better and I am not easy to impress. USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Martin was not available. Our tour guide was Eduardo. There was also a driver for our van. This was a private tour for our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids. It was a 4 hour journey and we hit all of the major spots. It was a good leaning experience and we really got a good feel for the city. Eduardo is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. We all felt safe and really enjoyed the tour. We would definitely recommend this company.

Martin gave us a great city tour. His English is very good. He took us to the regular places with great explanations of what we were seeing. He easily adjusted the tour to fit our requests, beer on a veranda, coffee store and no shopping. Just what we wanted.
