Michaela is awesome! Knowledgeable. Keen local insights. She’s a highly educated local who connects the big historical picture with fun and winsome facts. She knows far more than other tour groups who only hit the main stops. Don’t come across the world to one of the richest cultural cities in history just to pick your own pocket! Hire these amazing people to make the most of your time and experience!
