A must go on!

Tim was the best tour guide. He knows his history. Very nice guy. He took the time to answer anyone's questions anyone had. He also made some recommendations for dinner. He took the time after to show us some extra sites and great information about them. Also recommended we go to the museum of revolution as well. He was GREAT!
