“This was a great introduction to a one-of-a-kind city. We were lucky to have Joaquin as our guide. He knew the city very well and showed us an interesting variety of street art, significant places, and local characters. For anyone concerned about safety, Joaquin is very cautious and we felt much safer with him than if we had wandered by ourselves.”
