Fer is the kind of guide you want as she balances modern humor with a passion for others to know her city. I learned a lot on her tour about how some of the history of this expansive city dances with the present”

Guides were friendly and competent, location was amazing and lush with lots of shady coverage while hiking, and the chips and salsa/pico/guac at the restaurant were incredible. Serious inclines in the hikes between lines. Dine for our group, but a consideration for others less comfortable with that. Highly recommended!”
