Our experience was extraordinary because our guide was wonderful. Our guide went way above our expectations to keep us ssfe and happy. He took us to the best stores with the best prices. His historica (Read More)l information was both pertinent and interesting. We even went to a local restaurant and shared a meal. He spent 1 hour trying to get us a taxi back to our hotel. When we were unable to get a taxi, he arranged for a private car. I would highly recommend arranging a private tour of the Bizaar with this company....
