Meeting and pickup
Your tour guide's name is Laura and she will be waiting for you in the space between the Ruins of Saint Domingos and the Tourism booth (they face each other). The tour starts at 18:45 sharp so, if you could arrive a bit earlier, that would be great. Look for a guide with a yellow umbrella!
