This was a last minute decision and it turned out to be the best decision because Antonio was super friendly and took his time to explain everything I needed to know about the city to me.
There was no rush and I could take my pictures and videos as well. I couldn’t have done all this in the little space of time without Antonio.
Love the city and its cleanness and will definitely come back again this time, staying longer.
