Perfect Walking Tour - Our family of 5 including three kids ages 9, 12, and 14 loved our walking tour with Harry. He was very informative and had a handy portable microphone set up so it was easy to hear him. He answered all of our questions and was very pleasant. The tour was just the right amount of time (about 1.5 hrs) and speed and he took us to some spots where we took great photos. We walked about 2-2.5 miles overall during this tour. He even recommended a delicious local place for lunch afterwards. We had a rental car and it was convenient to park at the Dona Fela parking garage a few minutes walk from the meet up spot at Plaza Colon. Thank you, Harry!
