Ricky was super flexible with time and place for the pick up. It was very fun to go around the small streets of the old part of the city in a tuk tuk. Big recommendation from me.

Ricky was a super tour guide. He told us a lot about the city and recommended a bar for Poncha at the end. He always gave us time for photos and never rushed us.
