- Wonderful guided tour of the city by Joseph. In addition to the relevant historical explanations, he told us a multitude of legends and anecdotes that made the tour really enjoyable and interesting. He has a great knowledge of the subject and knows how to transmit it without ever getting heavy, but quite the opposite. He offered to answer all our questions and, thanks to his explanations, we fully immersed ourselves in all corners of Trujillo. It was a real joy to tour the historic center of his hand. Really recommended!
