We did get out in an area with *quite a few* homeless people which made my heart race as it's not something I'm used to coming from the area I do, but Jennifer confidently walked us right on by and ensured there were no one missing (or extras) getting back on the bus. The bus was super comfortable and the driver did not drive like a lunatic (which was incredibly impressive after doing several other tours with others through the same areas LOL). Would recommend this tour for anyone looking for a mixture of cool but darker history,…”
