    The activity was excellent. The guide had extensive knowledge about the city, its surroundings, historical events, and points of interest, making the walk very informative. Furthermore, he was attentive to my comments, opinions, and comparisons (always respectfully) based on my experience and cultural background.

    A very good experience. The tour, the historical information, and the additional details exceeded my expectations. And ending the tour at the "El Retorno" restaurant was the best part, with the tasting of their house-brewed craft beers.
