CoupleVerified bookingApr 20265/5Everything was excellent! Our Spanish-speaking guide (Alexa) was simply perfect. She took us to all the iconic spots, which really helped us appreciate everything more. The museum is beautiful and well worth the extra cost to visit, so we highly recommend this experience.EEduardo F

CoupleVerified bookingMar 20265/5What we liked most about the tour was our guide, who showed us around and explained everything extremely well. She explained everything clearly and showed us the entire exhibition with great respect. I don't have a camera on hand right now, but it was a really lovely moment. Thank you so much to our guide, Cinthya, for helping us understand everything.TThomas W
SoloVerified bookingMar 20265/5Alex was a terrific guide. Tour was very interesting, though a little rushed. I had some difficulty fully understanding the tour guide. I wasted an hour of my time the previous evening trying to get my tickets for the your. VERY FRUSTRATING!
