Will we enter the Cathedral during the tour?
The tour includes explanations from the exterior, but Cathedral entry is not included. However, our guides can recommend the best times to visit on your own or through a specific guided tour.
We recommend booking a private guided tour if you want to explore the interior of the Cathedral, known as "La Manquita" (The One-Armed Lady), and discover why its second tower was never completed.

Is there a limit on group size for the guided tour?
Absolutely. Maintaining tour quality is our priority. Limited group sizes ensure that the guide can provide a personalized and comfortable experience. That's why it's important to book in advance, especially during peak season.

Will we make stops during the tour?
We make strategic stops at iconic locations such as Plaza de la Merced and Plaza de la Constitución. Additionally, during summer months, we include stops in shaded areas to make the tour more enjoyable, taking advantage of the cool alleyways in the historic center.
