Why travel with Trico Tours?
The tour was great. Matteo knows an incredible amount of information about Paraguay. We visited the Pantheon of Heroes, Independence House Museum, the Cathedral, the old train station and museum (this was really cool!), and another museum about the city. We walked by the presidential palace and through several parks and neighborhoods, and were able to see some really cool murals.
Great half-day tour of Asuncion. We had only one day in Asuncion, so we contacted Tracy to arrange a half-day tour of the city. The guide (Manuel) and driver (Cesar) were great, and we covered pretty much everything in the city. Highly recommended!
We would love to hear from you.
