“Our tour guide was Tiago and he was wonderful! He was fun, casual, informative and very aware of his guests. When a few of them were running late, he let them catch up with us who were on time. When one of the ladies were getting chilly from the wind, he took his own jacket off and let her use it as needed. He was not in a hurry. Stayed on and chatted with his guests until everyone was ready to leave. The tour itself was great as well”
