Awesome tour of castles and cloisters - Miguel and Leo were great tour guides for this trip back in time to the days of the Knights Templar. Leo was new, so Miguel joined along to make sure the tour went without a hitch. However, Leo is very well versed in the history of this time and kept us enthralled. Both guys were amazing tour guides and were a perfect fit for our history focused interests. The castles were amazing to see and the cloisters were beautiful. That combined with the rich history that Leo and Miguel provided made the trip magical
