Our guide, Sugar, was absolutely fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture with us. He made the whole experience feel personal and fun, not just like a standard tour. We learned so much while still having a great time. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Sugar as your guide!”
