“Mikey was a great tour guide. First of all, he did a great job navigating traffic at the head of the group, making sure that the group stayed together and cleared intersections. He had fun stories for each of our stops, and clearly had a deep understanding of the city's history. He spent more time with us than they booking indicated, and made thorough recommendations for restaurants and other sites around the city.”
