    As a solo (female) traveler, safety is very important to me and I couldn't have been more impressed with every single thing about this tour. For one, the meeting spot was a very secure spot, easy to find, with police around. Leo was AMAZING! Seamlessly going from English (for me) to Spanish (for the rest of the group) back and forth making sure we could all understand the tour. He took us to ALL of the key spots in Zona Colonial and it was so much better than just wandering around by myself!
