A great tour based on our interests

We didn’t want to do the typical hot-spot tour. We love architecture and seeing neighborhoods and that’s exactly what she showed us, along with some tourist attractions she thought we would like. She was knowledgeable about history and having been a native of the area, she could speak about how things have changed for the communities.
