“Miguel was amazing. So organised and efficient with everything. Also amazing that he could speak so many languages. He made the day! Thank you!. . The only downside was at the restaurant when we were told that the juice was complementary, only to be charged €2 for it at the end, along with the Tip for the band, the tip for the waiter, tip for the bus driver, etc. I think we all were charged around €10 extra (based on a €2 tip per activity) for things we took as being part of the tour and not extra. The lunch was lovely though.”
