TOUR THEME AND WHO IT IS FOR ‼️⚠️


The Tour Is Oriented Towards History and Architecture, aimed at anyone who truly enjoys history, architecture, and art history. * 


My tour is focused on a specific audience interested in the aforementioned topics, to avoid any problems or inconveniences.
 

It Is Not Suitable For Children Under 12 Years Old As They Tend To Get Easily Frustrated Due To The Nature Of The Tour.


I kindly ask, with all due respect, to those who book my tour to read the instructions carefully to avoid confusion or disagreements and thus avoid bad reviews that only lower my rating, 


Also, please, if someone is hungover, do not come to the tour as I have had some people who stayed up late the night before and show no interest in what I explain. If you drank, please refrain from coming, thank you!!!  


And please do not smoke 🚭 or consume drugs 🙏🏿 it is not allowed, thank you, you can smoke but away from the group, 


Please 🙏🏿 punctuality is very important, I ask for punctuality to not delay those who arrived early, if you had any delay, please let me know. 



I ask to book a day before the tour or 3 hours before if you do it on the same day,

Only exterior visits to the mentioned places are made, no interior visits,
