Victor was an amazing... - Victor was an amazing host! He was professional, but kind and friendly. He shared a wealth of knowledge about this city he so clearly loves, and he did so in a personal way with humor and joy. He treated us to great stories and beautiful historic and culture landmarks with water and snacks along the way. We saw and learned so much. His car was clean and he was a good, safe driver. Victor let us move at our own pace and we never felt rushed…and at the end of the day when we realized we left items behind he arranged to meet us and return them and still greeted us with a smile. It was a unique and great way to spend the day, so I’d highly recommend this 10 star tour to anyone. Big thanks to Victor from all of us!
