This tour was so packed full of information, I cannot actually believe it was only 2 hours. Without feeling rushed, we went round different sights with Maggie.
She is a fabulous storyteller, it all came to life and she was very considerate of our group as most of us were looking for shade on a very warm day.
Maggie also gave us plenty of time for questions and honestly she made it a very special tour. Felt like I got to know the city instantly and gave us the confidence to go and explore more on our own.
Thank you

Tina was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend her. My personal favorite part of the tour was the Memorial for the Jews. As a suggestion, I would make the tour longer with more time to stop at places along the way.

Hannah was an excellent guide. Since she was an American, it was easy to understand her, and she spoke up loudly and clearly. She always made sure her group was together. Her information was clear and she had some great stories. I would definitely recommend this tour and Hannah as a guide.
