There were 5 English speaking, and 5 Spanish speaking on the tour. Franco spoke to both groups fluently and told us lots of interesting facts and we were taken to lots of places. He went out of his way to get my US dollars exchanged for pesos when I was unable to buy a drink as they wouldn't take us dollars or my debit card. He made sure to keep an eye on us all in busy places, as we all headed in different directions. A bit like herding cats, he did a great job
