Hicimos el tour con Cris, una guía excepcional. Estoy acostumbrado a realizar este tipo de tour por todas las ciudades por las que viajo y nunca me había tocado una guía tan completa, gran comunicadora, con carisma y muy bien preparada. Ha hecho que toda la ruta que hemos visto sea entretenida con gran cantidad de datos y curiosidades de la zona. Me ha encantado Translate this opinion into English.
