"Over the past 25 years, I've been on many tours all over the world and been lucky to have had some very good guides. Even so, Arturo will be the one I will still remember years from now. What a phenomenal guide - he is one of those rare instances of being the right person in the right job. He was charming, friendly, and had infinite patience. He made a great tour awesome!"
