We had the best time with Jenn exploring the city before a concert in the evening. We asked for hidden gems & random facts and she delivered with so much knowledge and insight for spots we'd otherwise maybe just walk right past. We also loved hearing about her life growing up in the city and she was great at communicating ahead of time and tailoring the route to make sense for where we wanted to start and end.
