We didn't realize we were meeting w/ a guide on a private tour, so we were looking for a group tour guide. It was a bit stressful before we found our guide as we thought perhaps we had been scammed. The meeting point also said to meet at the address 100 but then also to meet by the white door- these two points were on opposite sides of the street. Ultimately, our guide was standing under the white door. Inger, once we found her, was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING... and I would recommend her to everyone with children. She was fantastic and the tour was better than anything we expected. Can't say enough about her and the tour, worth every penny!
