Jalisa was great! Even though it was cold and only me on the tour, she gave me quite a personalized intro to the neighborhood. Very fun and educational.

Jalisa est très sympathique et essaie de satisfaire les voyageurs. C'est un quartier intéressant à visiter. Je recommande (si possible le tour de jour plutôt que celui du soir).
