    • @RetirementTravelers
      @RetirementTravelers  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Have a great trip. It was a private boat and here is the contact info. Miguel Lanchero +50231153515. His brother Lucas gave us a 4-hour boat tour. They were very nice. The price was maybe $120, but don't remember exactly. It was worth it. The tour of the city was designed to showcase the local businesses. She just met us at the dock, perhaps arranged by our driver.
      Safe travels,
