Hello! I'm Deniss Ibarra. born and raised in Mexico, Veracruz. I have lived in Boston, MA for 10 years, started touring with my friends and fell in love, so I was curious to find out more about Boston. I took a Boston history camp in 2019, which gave me a taste of American culture and allowed me to explore Boston from many angles, from its famous islands, as well as architecture and art. I recently got certified as a tripschool tour guide and tour director.
