5.00Aracely was incredible. I was glad we were a small group, so we had good time to elaborate on our questions. Aracely has a lot of information, and the stories she told us about the history of the area were right on point. She kept our interest 100% of the time. I’m grateful she was my guide for that morning. I have now a few places I will go back to, because her information and interaction made me piqued my interest. Thank you, Aracely, you did an incredible job.
Excellent.
