Really well organised, very knowledgeable guide and such engaging stories! Whilst the tour is long, the time passes quickly and does not involve a lot of walking and you do stop at places and have the opportunity to sit down. Had a lovely evening - would highly recommend!
We did it with Sebastián and we had a great time, recommended.
The guide Sebastián was excellent. Very good experience, super clear and entertaining. Highly recommended! A genius
Sebas was great on the mysteries and legends tour, I recommend it 100%! Thank you very much, it gave me goosebumps hahahaha
Sebastián was a fantastic guide. Choosing the mystery tour was a great decision.
Extraordinary experience with Sebastián. Passionate and enthusiastic when telling the stories. He even picks up trash from the street while doing the tour. Very complete. Thank you.
Highly recommended; in Sebastián's company, we got to know the ins and outs of this beautiful city in a much more enjoyable way.
A very interesting walking tour! Great value for the money. An enthusiastic guide and presenter.
Fernando did very well and explains the stories with a lot of enthusiasm and affection. He makes recommendations for places, restaurants, and treats the group very well.
It has been very interesting and entertaining, and the guide was fantastic!
