Traveler reviews
A must-do tour that is very moving.
We did the tour with Ricard, excellent!! He had a lot of information, answered all questions without hesitation, and the narrative was truly captivating and moving. It is a tour that everyone should do, especially with Ricard because he knows how to convey his knowledge very well.
A tour that everyone should take to understand and remember our history and current situation.
I loved it. He provided a lot of information and conveyed it in the most objective, empathetic, and respectful manner possible. For me, it was a morning where I learned a lot and connected concepts that I had not noticed before. It is simply the best tour I have ever been on.
Highly recommended without a doubt
