    Gabriella was excellent at guiding us through the underground and explaining it’s history, use and special features. Along the way, she pointed out landmarks and told us a bit of history as well. There was a little more involved than what we had expected, but it wasn’t bad.

    The RES network is an unbelievable collection of retail/restaurants/shopping/ transversing experiences. Unfortunately, a little more complicated than a new comer would expect—- so a tour be essential to deep dive. This tour has you spending hours in non descript passage ways — totally missing the fun of the underground!

    Martin was a very informed and enthusiastic tour guide. We learned a lot about the “underground” city. I recommend taking the tour on the front end of your trip because it really helps to acclimate you to the city. Thanks Martin!
