Summary: Alexis is an amazing tour guide - speaks Castellano, English, and Italian. He seamlessly wove the Spanish and English introductions and got everyone from destination to destination. The sites were mixed with local history and just stunning views. Bring a jacket and rain gear because it was somewhat cold and rainy even in July. Definitely worth the trip.
