I reached out to Ivan to create a walking tour focused on historic preservation and housing for me and my colleagues, and he tailored it perfectly to our interests. He was an excellent guide—engaging, insightful, and full of great stories—while maintaining a professional and easygoing demeanor. His background in architecture and design really came through in the depth of his knowledge. I would highly recommend working with Ivan.
