Ana was our guide and she was exceptional! We made easy and timely contact with her at the meeting point and then she talked us through how the tour would proceed. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions thoroughly. She expertly navigated the crowds, and shaped the tour to our areas of interest. Additionally she was just a sincerely gracious and lovely person. We highly recommend her and the tour.
