“Valdemar is an excellent guide and driver. We were a mixed group (of 8 people) of English and Spanish speakers. He transitioned effortlessly from each language in his presentation. His attention to detail was very appreciated as he looked after our various needs especially in our free time. I would recommend that the tour would be one hour shorter. That would be welcomed by most participants. (Perhaps start 30 mins earlier and cut a further 30 mins from the afternoon). Thanks to all for a wonderful tour.”
