Be Enlightened With Knowledgeable Guide

5.00Our private tour guide Don was amazingly knowledgeable about the city and finding hidden treasures most guides could not. Don took us to narrow streets and explained the term gang. Also hidden artifacts. I believe he went above and beyond our expectations. Dons recommendations to continue on our own after tour completed was well worth it. I for sure will take similar tours in the future when traveling.
Brilliant tour!!
