Personal, Informative and Delicious!

Highly personalized tour. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Juliana. We met a lovely couple from NY who was also on the tour. Loved getting tips on places to eat and go and also found the tour interesting and informative. Ending at the restaurant and getting the unique recipe for Sangria was the perfect end and the tapas were delicious. Thx Juliana!! Highly recommend for personalized, touch, history/info and food.
