My guide was the best I’ve ever had, a real historian who loves teaching people. He always had some piece of fascinating facts to tell us. I wish that all guides were as well informed as as him. Bravo!

We had an amazing guide and tour both the walking tour and the boat tour. Our guide was so kind and informative, we traveled with my mother who shared with the rest of the group at the end of our tour> 2 hours that she is 94 years young and who kept up with the rest of the group. It was an overcast/rainy day which did not deter our tour and the excellent job our guide provided.
