“3 perfect days touring with Diego Vasco - Diego Vasco was our tour guide for 3 days. He was always on time, speaks perfect English, and attentive to needs of clients. I traveled with my husband and adult son. He was informative, fun and knows great places to eat. My husband is disabled and Vasco was attuned to making things as easy as possible for him. Always getting him close to destinations to minimize walking. We rented a w/c. Diego picked it up and returned it for us. He was knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and included history and art since we included that in our interest’s. Diego is an Excellent driver. I lost my hairclip and asked him to ask his daughter for a store recommendation to find one. The next morning instead of an address he arrived with a beautiful hair clip just like I wanted. So kind and considerate. Always upbeat and positive. Ask for Diego you will be very happy.” (Reviewed at: 2024-10-21)
