Mira was an excellent tour guide! She elevated our historical knowledge of your great city! We learned so much and so appreciated her expertise, kindness and including us in her large family … of being a “cuz”. Couldn’t think of a better ambassador for your fine city! Thank you, Marti Miller, Janice Bigger and Tom Bigger
