The tour guide (Paulo) was very informative and passionate about the topics. His English was very good and he clearly enjoyed the conversations/discussions. He was attentive to the group and offered extra support, such as waiting for the ‘slow people’, offering seats and answering all questions.
We saw a lot of the main sites (excluding the big amphitheater, as explained in the tour description) but the tour guide explained how to get there.
Our only issue is that the ‘small group’ ended up being 20 people. Though we did have the headphones linked to a speaker on the tour guide.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
