Bring your sweet tooth!! Another attraction is a stop at our unique Paseo de Doña Blanca, known as the Pink Street. These are just some of the attractions our guest will experience on this tour. We will have lots of fun making your experience one to remember creating memories that will last a lifetime. Guest questions along the ride are welcomed and highly encouraged.
