Just spent Day 1 of 2 with Gabi and Carlos (Guide and Driver) on a fully customized tour. Saw Sugar Loaf, Steps, Cathedral, Monastery, Santa Teresa, and one other photo op at the Maze. Gabi contacted us early and understood what we liked in terms of our trips regarding where we wanted to spend our time. Had just the right level of history and facts blended with photo ops. Excellent going team!
