The meeting point was easy to find and Balaam greeted me on arrival. He was very professional. He had a broad knowledge and was able to answer my questions easily. As a side trip we went to a local place for a traditional drink, this I would not have known about otherwise. Balaam was interesting and very accommodating of the extra murals I was hoping to see. We visited many wonderful places and his knowledge brought everything to life! Without Balaam as my guide I would only have seen buildings and art, but now I know history and stories behind the works, I now take home a richer knowledge and curiosity to learn more. Highly recommended. I would love to come back again and explore more of this incredible city. A++++
