Awesome tour for connecting flights - I had a great time on this tour. María was very knowledgeable and patient. I learned a lot about the city, got some great pictures, had a good time, and it packed a lot into a short time so we had time to get back to the airport for our connecting flight. I highly recommend taking this tour!
