Perfect Birthday Surprise - I planned this tour for my boyfriend’s birthday. He is just starting to get into photography and I wanted to surprise him with a photography tour. Pilar helped me pick out a great spot in the city to take photographs of items he liked (abandoned buildings, skylines, and nature). She talked to him about different features, lenses and cameras. She encouraged him to look for unique angles and characteristics of what he saw. He had so much fun. In addition, she gave us (but mostly me as he was taking pictures) information about the city and its history. Definitely recommend for photography enthusiasts. I took some pictures with my phone but nothing as good as my boyfriend took.

Best experience to start the year - This tour was 10/10. I had so much fun meeting people and going out in te city. I’ve been here for short time and this helped me to discover new places and nice people. I had a great time and didn’t feel uncomfortable in any minute because the guide was really a sweetheart. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour! - Over the years I have visited this beautiful city several times. However, touring it with Pilar as my guide lent a completely different perspective. Pliar was informative, engaging, and, in addition to having in-depth knowledge of the history of the city, she made it fun! She took me to all the nooks and crannies which I may never have thought to visit on my own. Picture The City is well worth it and Pilar is an outstanding guide!
