Aylton was extremely knowledgable and friendly. He took us around the dowtown and although some places were closed we still had a great time seeing the sites. His english was great so we had no trouble understanding him and asking a bunch of questions. We spent around 2 hours with Aylton and could've been longer but we chose not to go to the fort since it was getting a little late. Highly recommended tour!
