Angel is an amazing person who is truly following his calling working with people. We initially did the Bazurta Market Tour and Cooking class. We were so impressed and felt like we knew him for years we hired him to do the private tour the following day. He had us laughing so much. The beauty of the private tour is that he is flexible and will take you places you want to go. We wanted to go shopping at a particular store and he took us and shopped with us. Just awesome. Another thing we felt like the healthcare provider our hotel recommended for the COVID test was charging too much. I called up Angel and you know it, he sent over someone to the hotel who was way cheaper. There was no cost for his service. We really fell in love with Angel and his wife Maria.

Overall it was a very informative city tour led by Angel. It is clear to see his pride for the culture, Angel tried very hard to share with us his knowledge and keep the group engaged.
My group had a few teens, it was more challenging to keep them interested. He was flexible to allow us more free time in the Navy Museum, where kids were more interested (may be because of the free wifi :-) )and wanted to explore on their own. I can tell he was disappointed not able to show us more of the old city as a result of our extra long stay at the Navy museum, but I appreciated his flexibility, and his willingness to make adjustment based on customers' needs.
If I was to go back next time (especially if going back without kids), I think I would love to try one of their cooking class tours.
Overall I would highly recommend the tour, the only consideration may be avoid doing longer culture focused tour with younger kids.
