Free guided tour of the " Silver City"
I’m a passionate storyteller with a love for history, legends, and good laughs. Outgoing by nature, I never miss a chance to crack a joke or turn a fact into a fun memory. What truly brings me joy is connecting with people from around the world and yes, sharing our delicious local cuisine (it really is as tasty as the rumours say!). P.S: Don’t mind the serious face in the photo — I do laugh, I swear! Just saving it for the perfect moment on tour.
