Une balade authentique et conviviale au cœur de Colonia

Franchement, cette visite à pied de Colonia del Sacramento avec Tangol Tours, c'était le top ! Le guide était hyper sympa et passionné, il nous a raconté plein d’anecdotes sur l’histoire du coin. On se balade dans des ruelles super charmantes, on découvre des endroits que j’aurais jamais trouvés tout seul. La durée est parfaite, ni trop longue, ni trop courte. Je recommande grave si tu veux mieux comprendre la ville et profiter de son ambiance tranquille. C’est un must pour les amateurs de culture et de vieilles pierres !
