Get a good guide - The car ride was good and it was great to see a quick overview of the historical zone. My sister and I booked it online and we specified English. When we got there we were combined with 2 other groups making a total of about 10 people for the colonial zone. Since we don't speak Spanish the whole group was okay with English. The guide's English wasn't great and he didn't tell a lot of me information. It was quick walking through the colonial zone and we didn't go into the oldest cathedral in north America. It was just all very fast. The car was fine it was good and the 3 eyes was beautiful and so was the lighthouse. The guide just didn't have a fun of knowledge it seemed to us.

A scam - I did this excursion a week ago and the experience although it was not all bad, was very disappointing. The guide was very friendly and made the tour very enjoyable but I felt conned by the company. The platform allows booking the tour for only one person for $120 although if two people go it costs only $75 each. Likewise, I decided to book the tour paying double because it was my only day in town. However, after making the reservation, the company contacted me by WhatsApp to tell me that they had to cancel the tour because I was the only person registered and minimum needed two but on the page it DID NOT say that before making the reservation. I was offered to do the tour alone for $25 plus, that's 145 usd. I agreed to do so although it was much more than the original price (75usd) thinking about the benefits of the tour, as it seemed very complete. However, during the tour I was not given the bottle of water they promised, most of the tour was walking and not by air-conditioned vehicle as they said and most tourist sites had free admission and they promised admission as if it were paid. When we arrived at the museum of the royal houses, the guide told me that it did not include the entrance, only the view outside the museum; to which I replied that on tripadvisor he said that if he included it and the guide agreed to buy the entrance. At the end of the tour, the guide took me to my accommodation on his personal motorcycle without a helmet and not by vehicle as they had also promised. I feel like they took advantage of me seeing that I'm a foreigner and traveling alone. I did this tour a week ago and the experience, although it was not bad, was very disappointing. The guide was very kind and made the tour very enjoyable but I felt scammed by the company. The platform allows you to book the tour for one person for 120 dollars although if two people go it costs only 75 dollars each. In any case, I decided to book the tour paying double because it was my only day in the city. However, after making the reservation, the company contacted me via WhatsApp to tell me that they had to cancel the tour because I was the only person registered and a minimum of two were needed but the page did NOT say that before making the reservation. They offered me to do the tour alone for 25 dollars more, that is, 145 usd. I agreed to do it that way even though it was much more than the original price (75usd) thinking about the benefits of the tour, because it seemed very complete. However, during the tour I was not given the bottle of water that they promised, most of the tour was on foot and not in an air-conditioned vehicle as they claimed and most of the tourist sites had free entry and they promised the entry as if it were paid.
