Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Christa was very informative and entertaining/relatable! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
Loved the tour. Learnt a lot ranging from prostitution to tuberculosis. We had Christa as our guide. She had a wonderful storytelling style and kept us engaged the whole time. Highly recommend the tour if you are into history but want something different from the run of the mill.
