Great afternoon with William as our guide, who was very knowledgable and entertaining. Interesting observations on history and architecture, presented with great panache and well balanced for the mixed level of knowledge within our group. We all utterly enjoyed the afternoon and William was quoted several times during our dinner that night. Thank you!

My husband and I appreciated this in-depth tour that delighted and surprised us both. Do not pass this tour up- ours ended up being more of a private tour because no one else booked it- which made it much more intimate and fun.
A major thank you to our guide who waited for us patiently after we ran into issues with our credit card and train passes. Also- our guide had a recommendations list-and we visited one of the restaurants...and it was great!
