George was a patient and informed guide. He knew the place in and out. He explained history and relevance of the places we visited. He was considerate to everyone in the group. I’m glad that I took this tour with the him.
The guide was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history. Explained everything in a good pace and even had illustration images for trivia. Showed us good photo spots, gave us time to take photos and took them for us!
