If you can understand basic Spanish, then this tour might be for you.
Needless to say, it wasn't great for me who can only understand very minimal Spanish.
Hubbers and I deliberately made time to experience this tour just so I can learn more about his family's hometown. And because I couldn't understand most of what was being said, didn't really learn much.
Party of three, we met up with the host and was told the next bus run wasn't going to be for another half hour, so the three of us killed time by cooling off with sorbets at the dulceria nearby.
We came back and we ended up waiting another 20 minutes. I'm guessing they were hoping for more passengers.
Hubbers and his cousin decided to take the tour upstairs - under the sun. That was a no-no for me since it was way too hot for me to hangout there for an hour, so I stayed put downstairs. I searched for headphones to plug in their translation outlets: nothing. Them outlets didn't even look like they were working. But just for curiosity, I asked the driver if there were headphones. He told me, "NO."
So, I had to put a quick thought in this: should I join Hubbers and cuzzo upstairs and maybe he can translate for me but suffer the blistering sun, or just stay downstairs and be more comfy?
I went for the latter.
So, yes, disappointing. I also need to mention the windows were open, so this is not an AC'd one-and-a-half-hour ride.
I did enjoy seeing some structures, I understood a bit of description of some of them (but not enough to learn about them). We made one stop - just to pick up more passengers, and we were back in front of the cathedral in no time.
Not recommending for non-Spanish speakers. I can't remember how much it was but wasn't worth it for me.
One-and-done. read more
