This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our guide Christina was so welcoming and personable. It felt more like a friend showing us around town as opposed to a formal guided tour. Christina had a ton of useful suggestions about things to do for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend the tour and Christina as a guide.
