  1. Joaquin

    Jaime was incredible, he helped us set up a custom tour with Fortaleza and made the whole process easy and stress-free. The day was amazing from start to finish. My wife and sisters-in-law had so much fun, and everything was super well-organized. We’ll definitely be doing another tour with TQM!
