"Sarah and Pacino: 10/10"

Sarah was an excellent host, clearly loves her city and had tons of fun personal anecdotes to go along with the history. Very fun, athletically-easy tour. And Pacino was a great mascot :)

"Edinburg old town tour."

Jen gave a very interesting and fun tour of old Edinburg. She engaged everyone especially the Harry Potter fans and history buffs too. She also gave recommendations for the better places to eat.

"Ideal para primera visita"

Despite the city being so crowded, the guide did not lead the tour with professionalism, patience, and respect. I would prefer not to receive so many commercial recommendations.
