Gustavo did such an amazing job with our small group of 3 that we booked him again with a larger group of 8 people. Our group of 8 was impressed by his charisma and depth of knowledge.

He accommodated our different interests and adjusted itinerary to include spontaneous stops that turned out to be group favorites. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast or a foodie, Gustavo is the guide who will make the trip unforgettable.
