Omar is awesome!

We had Omar as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and had great information about local history.

Ask about a good guide to narrate the walk.

Hopefully the next group will have a better guide. Our guide spoke too quietly, did not keep us engaged and we left early due to the experience.
