Traveler, history lover, and true crime binge watcher. I’ve always been curious about what’s behind the surface, whether it’s a famous landmark or a quiet street most people walk past. On my tours, I like to mix the must-see places with hidden gems and stories you won’t find in guidebooks. My goal is simple: help you see the city in a different way.
