Fantastic guide Gabi shows us the city
our tour was scheduled on a day the tour office was closed, so no one was there- but our guide came and was wonderful. Gabi was very knowledgable, friendly and engaging. Five hours may seem like a long tour, but the pace was perfect and it actually flew by because it was so interesting and entertaining. Highly recommend- also we used public transportation (bus and subway) and went to local restaurants so it is a great way to orient yourself to the city a bit.
