Highly recommended and complete - The visit has taken us all morning, because of the elevated temperatures, from 10:30 to 14 past. We have known every corner of Trujillo explaining the history of each building, the architectural elements and the families to which they belonged. It shows a lot of knowledge, not only historical, but also art, his explanation of the altarpiece of Santa Maria was very detailed and very explicit, as well as the description of the virgin of the good milk, a jewel hidden in the church. Very vindicative and concerned about the heritage of Trujillo and its conservation. He has very good and quite interesting ideas that municipal representatives should take into account, regarding the improvement in the conservation and promotion of heritage.

Trujillo much more than his stones - This great is a very pleasant, quiet and not tired visit that can make adults and children. It is 3.5 hours of visit to the Medieval Trujillo and its influence on the conquest of America

An essential guided tour - Excellent visit. Trujillo is an impressive city, thanks to the guided tour we took we were able to learn about its history and its monuments, which has allowed us to appreciate its great heritage much more. The visit is long, but at no time is it tiresome or boring, as it is very well structured, combining the places and their stories. It was a real luxury to have been able to enjoy Alicia's knowledge, sympathy and kindness.
