Great walking tour of el centro historico

Edgar,our guide was a delight. Widely travelled himself, he entertained and educated the 3 of us for 2.5 hrs. Would highly recommend. Added bonus is that he started at 0930 rather than thw usual 10am as temps were in the low 40s C

Edgar is the best!

Our tour guide Edgar was incredibly personable, knowledgeable and engaging. He has so many cool stories and details about the city, and has travelled all over so probably knows some facts about yours. He remembers everyones’ names, asks questions and keeps us in the shade! I thoroughly recommend a tour with him - 2.5 hours speeds by.
