We LOVED Omar, he had such a calm and serene energy and was very intuitive. He picked up on what we found interesting and built on that, providing a really tailored tour experience that I really appreciated. He was accommodating and made sure we saw everything we wanted to and more. It was really perfect. We would definitely recommend this company and Omar…”
