Reviews

Review for: Join-in half day tour

It turned out we wee the only one only ib a group hence became a private tour. We were grateful of this private tour. The guide, David, was excellent and gave us good insight and explanations on San Francisco Museum & Catacomb. The city tour went on the plaza in front of the presidential palace and as it was on Subday there was a parade by Army band for changing guard performance. Many locals were also on the plaza. We then moved to San Martin Square. The tour continued onto Miraflores, an ancient temple pyramid site and the cliff top Park Amore. Really enjoyed and strongly recommended for anyone looking at the historic city tour from Miraflores.
