Energetic, knowledgeable and fun. - The Spanish speaking your done by Interviajes, led by lucas was the best tour I have been on.
Lucas and Marcelo were energetic, knowledgeable and entertaining. The ride to DC did not seem long.
Lucas provided a great atmosphere.
The only area of improvement would be to include visiting the unknown soldier area.
Overall it was excellent.

Excellent service. I’d certainly do it again. - The driver (who was also the guide) was very thoughtful and the activity was very good. From my point of view, the only negative point was that we only had the chance to see a few of the many historical e touristical of the city. I wish I had been able to see more of the city and spent more time there.
