Meeting Points
- I'll meet you at the corner of the modern KURSAAL CONVENTION CENTER and the BRIDGE. You can't miss it. Look for MUKA Restaurante next door to the Ice Cream Shoppe. I'll be outside by the seawall along the river. I'm the guy with the curly hair and the moustache.
End Points
- Many guests like for me to end the tour at a bar so they can continue on their own. I'm happy to walk you to a taxi queue or your hotel when convenient. I will NEVER leave guests lost or alone and always make sure they are safe at the end of the night.
