We loved it! Book w nadia! And do the AM tour if you want go inside ALL stops - Nadia was our tour guide, she was authentically enthusiastic about everything she showed us and was professional and sweet! We did the 4:30pm tour, if we were to do it again we would pick the AM tour because a lot of stops were closed by the time we got to them so we weren’t able to go inside. But overall it was incredible and we would do it again! Gracias nadia!

We had Emilio as our... - We had Emilio as our guide and he was very knowledgeable and always happy to take questions. I felt we went at a good pace. We went on a Monday so some places were not open that normally we could maybe dip into see e.g. the post office. But Emilio still gave us informtion if we wanted to return and he also gave us food recommendations.
