Fantastic sculpture tour along the Malecon. Our guide Memo did a great job giving us the history and meaning of the sculptures. We had walked by them many times without knowing anything about them. This was out 2nd tour with Memo and we find him to be a very personable, knowledgeable guide.

This was a nice walking tour to learn about the sculptures and the artists, which leads to history and culture. Our guide captured a couple of bystanders' attention that they joined in on the walk. Tours like this are a must if you're interested to learn about culture of a place. Thank you for the nice time!
