    Samy was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, real and warm! She is an excellent guide and I thoroughly recommend her tour. I feel I know more about the city and its past - and its present challenges and triumphs. Nine stars from me - 9 because that’s the number of championships the Junior Football Team has won! Thank you to Jose for his role as driver. He seemed to know exactly where and when we would be ready for the next part of the adventure. Great Tour! Great people!

    Excellent guide. Inconvenient time. Excessive sun and heat made it impossible to enjoy the tour.
