Great Tour Guide

Kenneth_H, Aug 2025

The tour guide was very helpful. My friend missed the tram, and the guide went with him on the tram.

Un lugar que no debes dejar de visitar

Carlos_L, Sep 2024

The guide was very kind and offered us to visit the racetrack as well, it is a place with a lot of history and a wonderful architecture and ambiance. I felt like I was in the 007 movie walking along those walkways. I would have liked the tour to be available in Spanish.
