Great experience! Luc ran over time kindly & didn’t show any issue. Lovely guy. Added another dimension to our trip. The Thank’s Luc!
Levi was truly wonderful! He shared so much interesting information and clearly knew the history inside and out. You could tell he was excited as he told the stories, making the experience even more enjoyable. He was happy to answer all our questions, and his sweet personality really shined through. He took great care of us, especially when crossing those busy streets. I just wish I could take him home—he's so adorable and lively! I'm truly grateful that God brought him into our lives to look out for us and guide us.
