Marcos es un guía estupendo! Sabe muchísimo de Almería y lo comparte con alegría, entusiasmo y cariño, tanto para la ciudad como para los visitantes que tenemos la oportunidad de explorar el sitio con él! Muy dinámico y nada pesado, a pesar de que hicimos el tour con lluvia! Muy muy recomendable:)

Como almeriense puedo decir que el guía fue excelente, me encantó todo. Solo me faltó que hablase del Cable Inglés, pero entiendo que resumir tanta historia en solo 2h es difícil. Ha sido genial.
