    Emily's Magical Realism.
    JuanEmilio_C, May 2022
    Emily is passionate about Cartagena and its favorite son Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Her knowledge base is very deep and she communicates information with great detail and flavor. She transported me to another time and place and I felt closer to my favorite author than ever before. I strongly recommend Emily's tour. She is a charming, wonderful person. Great teacher.
