⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carolina is Camden’s Rockstar Tour Guide! 🎸🕶️ - Carolina didn’t just guide us through Camden, she performed it. With the energy of a Glastonbury headliner and stories straight from the pages of music history, she brought the streets to life. From Amy Winehouse’s haunts to punk rebellion backstreets, every stop came with killer pop culture trivia and hidden gems. Her passion is infectious, her playlist is 🔥, and her vibe? Pure rock ’n’ roll. If you love music, street art, or just want the coolest Camden experience possible, go with Carolina.
