Summary:
We had an AMAZING private walking tour with Franklin. He is so knowledgeable, full of information and he makes the history of Leon interesting. He took us all around the city, pointed out all the important and fascinating facts about Leon and made the city come alive. In the tour was also included a smoothie which was delicious ! He took us up to the roof the cathedral and we took some beautiful photos up top. I would highly recommend this tour if you're into history and you want someone who can make you truly appreciate what the city has gone through. The tour was about 3 hours and it was the perfect length.
