Sneha, our guide, was wonderful! 😉 She walked us to interesting places. She told us interesting stories. We especially like her pointing out the different architectural and significant items throughout our walk. We recommend this walking tour!😉

Very good overall concept: just the right amount of information for 90 minutes, which also illuminated very interesting aspects of the city's history. The use of image projections was also very original and profitable.

A slightly different tour, saw and experienced a lot without being overwhelmed with numbers, showing old photos on the projector was a great experience. I can highly recommend it and wish you continued success.

It was a very varied tour through farms that I would not have found so quickly without a guide. It also gave me a great insight behind the scenes. Simply great!

Very entertaining tour with slide show, individual and special. Highly recommended
