    I recommend doing the tours with this provider. The guide (Alfonso) was wonderful, very helpful, he took photos, took us shopping, explained everything to us, and made our visit complete and important. He spoke Spanish. The transportation was impeccable and spotless. The driver (Fernando) was very pleasant and even took the trouble to find Spanish music.
