Informative, fun and truly memorable - The expedition was very well curated by guides that were not only well versed in history but also thrilled to share about their city and country. We covered quite a bit in the day, from the national musuem to the church and coffee roasters- with ending the day at a French cafe where we met other expats and locals that the guides introduced us to - im still in touch with some of the people I met!
I would recommend very highly and without any reservation a tour by this company, and wish their guides the very best

Another Successful Trip - I've known Sissy since 2016, and I've always learned something new and felt safe with him around. Sissy heart is always in the right place, and his experience with informing you about the history of his remarkable country is impressive. I've had the opportunity to develop a friendship that will last forever. Thank you again for such another unique opportunity.
