    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!

    Very good tour and tour guide. The personal tour is comfortable and the service is very good. The guide was excellent. I think that for the price it should include visits to places to try typical food, since the tour is several hours long. I think it could be more complete, but it was very good.
