Latest reviews from our guests

    Our guide was outstanding, taking us to places we hadn't seen yet, using several forms of transportation. He then suggested a place for us to eat a great local dinner that was close to our hotel.

    It was so nice to walk around the city & have details explaining about what we were seeing. We covered so much that the next day I didn't feel rushed to get out & see the most I could see because I might miss something, because our tour was so thorough. We saw city highlights, but also small details we typically would have missed. Wonderful tour!

    Recommend if you want an authentic introduction to the city. Definitely saw and tried things that aren’t part of the generic city tours. Ange was very knowledgeable and friendly. Found Ange very easy to speak with. Ange was able to quickly adjust the itinerary based on our feedback / discussions during the walk. The suggestions for what to do during our free time i.e. coffee, places to eat and see were very helpful.
