Igor was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and entertaining welcoming questions as we went around. It was a very hot evening and he supplied us with water for the tour which was very thoughtful. There were large groups from a cruise liner also touring and Igor made sure we did not just follow them around. We saw areas of the city that we would not have know existed. I would highly recommend this tour with Igor.”
