Valero was Amazing from start to finish! We had an Incredible experience he’s very professional, kind & detailed this was one of our favorite tours 👉🏼 He gave us a lot of great information & even recommended a few favorites he gave us such a memorable tour that we won’t forget! There was a water bus strike so many people were on foot. Avoiding the crowds We couldn’t make the mask maker part of tour if we wanted the sunset Pic🎭
