Mr. Tobias was a great guide. My friend and I really enjoyed this tour. It was wery interesting and warming to see a country neighboring our (Czech republic) open minded about LGBTQ+ community. One thing that we regret is not getting photo with Tobias. Such a great soul. Thank you so much! Eliška and Niky❤️.

Tobias was an excellent guide. He had an intimate knowledge of the area and a very well curated tour. He brought the characters he described from history to life and was personable and patient over a two and a half hour tour.
