Erik, was our guide and was Fantastic, he was very knowledgeable took his time to answer questions thoughtfuly. Our only snag was waiting for our guide at the location stated in the Headout email. The actual meeting point was inside the grounds in front of the building. We waited in the wrong spot for about 30 minutes before realizing the direction was wrong.

What I liked most was Marta's attention to detail, from the moment we purchased our tickets, she was always attentive. Until we met up. They delivered on everything.
