“Friendly and knowledgeable ”
Jasmine was such a great tour guide. She was knowledgeable in the history of the locations of the tour and she was such a pleasure to spend half a day with; it almost felt like a friend showing you around and not a stranger we had just met. I’d definitely book her again because she went far and beyond her tour guide duties.

We had an awesome tour/day with Jasmine. We were traveling with 3 kids, 9, and 6 year old twins. Jasmine was so understanding and flexible with the plans and made it workable for our family. She is so knowledgable on all of the history of the area and sightings, and also makes great recommendations in other areas such as food, shopping etc. Not to mention, she will take awesome family pictures for you throughout the experinece. 10/10 experience and would highly recommend.
