We thoroughly enjoyed our art tour with Heather and Louis. The entire experience was very authentic but also spontaneous. As a private tour, we enjoyed learning about the city’s history, but also current culture and lifestyle. The art scene is incredibly complex and diverse, so this tour gave us an experience we could have never had otherwise. We also found some great local highlights. Thanks for a great day!
