Great sights with a deep dive into the history of the attractions.

Francisco is a degreed historian and was able to give us a detailed history of the sites and attractions we visited. My wife has been dealing with a knee problem and he was very helpful with our drop offs and pickups so that we were able to access all of the stops and not miss anything. He is a great guide for anyone who enjoys a deeper discussion of the historical attractions.
