5.00Sonia is engaging, interactive, and highly skilled at both storytelling and being lighthearted. This felt less like a tour and more like a group activity, which made it more meaningful. Sonia caters the tour to what the group wants to experience, and it was very appreciated. We learned a lot, and were completely engaged the entire journey.
This was an awesome tour!...
