I highly recommend this tour.
Hector was an amazing tour guide who spoke with perfect English which is no surprise since he used to teach English here in Cienfuegos.
He showed things that you wouldn\'t normally see on a \"tourist\" walking tour and answered any questions you had.
Thanks a lot.I was elated to be your guide in my beloved city.
