Victor was an excellent tour guide. Took us round various historical landmarks in Santa Clara relevant to the Spanish colonial period, War of Independence, Cuban revolution and present day and provided lots of knowledge about these historical episodes. He was also ready to answer any questions. Very informative and enjoyable tour.
