History comes alive

Our guide, Marcelo, was excellent!! He took us back in time at the casino and gave us a private tour of the house of 7 errors. He recommended the best steakhouse we ate at on our trip and took us to a delightful chocolate shop. He told stories about the people that made the history and structures come to life. It was a very enjoyable day.
