My husband and I had a fantastic time with Amada on the Rent walking tour! Amada is full of knowledge all things Rent and broadway and such a lovely person! We visited sites used in the film and that inspired the musical and listened to all Amanda's wonderful stories and bits of history. Fantastic tour!
