We loved our tour - Kai was our guide and she was awesome - ask for her! We love this city but we didn’t know too much about some of the dark history. We found it fascinating and fun. Well worth the price of admission. Thanks Kai!

ASK FOR CALEB
Arch

CALEB WAS A BOSS! Funny, intelligent, charming and don’t think he made-up any of it ;) The stories were great but on top of that he was just a pleasure to be around. Even after the tour was over, he walked with my wife and I the mile back to our hotel continue to regale us with tales about this city he so clearly loves. Definitely one of the highlights over our anniversary trip. You are my new spirit animal, Caleb!
