We went on a tour with Jorge and had an amazing time. He picked us up from the train station and we took the bus to get to the starting point. He told me most facts in English and explained to my friend in Spanish. Not only did he tell us about the neighbourhood it’s story but was patient enough to take photos of us too! I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know. Thank you again Jorge!
