Very nice and organized...

Very nice and organized walking tour of the center city. I doubt that we could have done this exploration by ourselves.

Great opportunity to get to know the City Centre!

Sightseeing with Faical was a wonderful way to get to know some of the most historic and important parts of the City! He was an excellent guide and very hospitable!

Walking tour fun!

Published on Jan, 2025

Faical was a great guide. He meet us at our hotel as finding the original meeting point was difficult for us. He had a super sense of humor and was very easy to talk to. The route he had chosen was interesting and we went to places we would not have thought to go ourselves. The art area, Batman Alley was a highlight. Faical also gave us some great ideas for things to do after the tour. It was well paced, informative and a lot of fun.

Best private tour of the city you can book if you are young and traveling solo!

Published on Nov, 2024

This is the best bang for the buck ever. I almost don’t want to write a good review to not give away the secret! It’s totally private and customizable to what you want to see. My tour guide, Clarissa, was INCREDIBLE. She was flexible, sweet, and very knowledgeable. Thanks so much!
