Eric was our guide and he was wonderful. Very full of knowledge and as a dual citizen American and Spanish he shed light on some interesting things between the two cultures. The food was great as well. Even though it rained most of the tour it was an excellent evening. Highly recommend asking for Eric if you do the tour.
