Muy bueno el guía, hispano/venezolano, un trovador y poeta. Es un tour difícil de realizar para el guía por el conocimiento que hay que tener de la literatura española. Van mis felicitaciones

Manuel muy divertido, interactuando todo el tiempo con la gente. Nos habló de una forma muy amena de la vida y obra de los escritores y de cosas muy sorprendentes que no se dan en los libros. Nos hacía participar todo el rato, aprendimos mucho y nos hacía reír, que es algo de agradecer de un guía. ¡Y todo eso a pesar de la lluvia!
