It was a great experience, Josh was very accommodating for us. He knew a lot about the city and took us places we hadn’t been before. He gave us different recommendations for places to eat after, which was super helpful. Planning to go back with my mom some time this summer. Driving in an old VW bus and learning different facts about the city, doesn’t get much better than that!
