O tour vale muito a pena, caminhamos pela hambla, que é um lugar muito bonito, finalizando com um pôr do sol espetacular, e ouvindo informações históricas, curiosidades, etc.. o guia Fabian é extremamente simpático, solicito em responder todas as curiosidades.. Foi como fazer um passeio com um amigo que é guia. Recomendo!

Un tour muy instructivo con muchos datos culturales, paciencia y carisma. He sentido que ha sido uno de los toures en los que he aprendido más de lo que esperaba.

Fabian fue un excellence guía, sabía bastante y lo hizo ameno, el recorrido duró una hora y media. Fue muy amable y se preocupaba antes, durante y después del tour de si teníamos alguna duda o si podía ayudarnos en algo. Me hubiera gustado saber que habían tantos mosquitos para poder llevar repelente. Tal vez sería bueno empezar un poco antes el tour para poder ver tranquilos la puesta de sol sin apuro. Súper recomendado
