    The tour guide was very pleasant but only gave his commentary in Spanish. We relied on the earphones which weren't always in sync with the position of the bus.

    Loved all of my tour today. Maria, the guide was very knowledgeable and injected just the right amount of humour into her talk. Her English was very good and made it so easy for us. So often a guided tour is covered in so many different languages that the building/ park etc are long passed by the time the guide has finished her spiel!. Margaret
