Martina was unbelievable! We discussed a customized tour agenda prior to arrival and she absolutely hit a home run with the customized tour. We couldn't have asked for a better day, guide or tour.

Had a fantastic tour with my guide. She showed me some great neighborhoods and was the perfect way to get an overview of the city. Her knowledge of the city and culture was really informative.
