<p>This tour seemed disjointed. The guide was average and the tour timing was strange at each location. We had to beg to get into Casa del Moral they closed 5 minutes before we got there. We also had to ask a lot of questions to figure out what we were looking at or where we were. This tour also doesn't include Santa Catalina Monastery, which we overlooked. Make sure to see it!</p>
