“Our guide, Luis, is an excellent storyteller. Moreover, he managed to tell his stories in both English and Spanish. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he sat with his back to the entire bus, he did not manage to capture everyone's attention. due to constant rumor we did not always manage to hear his entire explanations.
