Unfortunately our tour was canceled due to a presidential rally occurring in the Centro Historico at the same time. All venues were classed and streets were barricaded. Complements to the tour operator for keeping us updated and safe. They promptly processed a refund. A reputable company, even if we didn’t to enjoy their tour.
