Tour Reviews
Nos fue bárbaro , altamente recomendable Piru nuestro guía , sabe mucho y es muy divertido a la vez , recorre los puntos principales históricos para ubicarse en l ciudad de salta capital , para consultas de toda índole, muy educado y servicial , tomen la excursión !!
Este tour es lo primero que debes hacer al llegar a Salta. Durante 2 horas te llevan caminando por distintos puntos conocidos de la ciudad contándote su historia, tanto antigua como la actual. Es la mejor forma de conocer el casco histórico y de conseguir muy buenas recomendaciones de donde comer y salir en la ciudad ademas. Me toco como guía Piru, que es excelente, siempre transmitiendo muy buena onda y con interés por conocer a todos y cada uno de las personas que hicimos el tour y generar un lindo clima participativo.
El tour es a la gorra, no tiene un precio fijo, uno paga al final lo que considera que valió, pero puedo asegurar que vale cada minuto del tour.
Nos toco Piru como guía. Excelente balanceo entre historia y realidad. Caminata por lugares centenarios, puntos cargados de historia, ayer y hoy. Buen ritmo, como para recorrer todo el centro de la ciudad y llegar al monumento a Guemes, todo en 2 horitas. Excelentes recomendaciones culinarias del guía. Todo 10.
Pasear por las calles de Salta es lo más hermoso, saludable y ameno que uno puede hacer en cualquier momento del día. Para disfrutar de Monumentos,iglesias, restaurantes, peatonales etc.solo basta iniciar el día tempranito ponerse las zapatillas y caminar.lo bueno que ya sólo en el casco céntrico tenes una variedad invaluable de historia y lugares para visitar!
MUY RECOMENDABLE.
El guía llamado PIRU combina conocimientos sólidos con una forma amena y cordial de transmitir los conocimientos. Muy buena disposición para con los turistas.
Muy bueno!! Muy copado nuestro guia Homero
