His knowledge, along with showing pictures on his iPad of what areas and buildings looked like in the past, gave you a real feel for the places we visited. He made the tour fun as well as informative. AJ made the tour interactive, providing time for questions as well as suggestions of must-see places and restaurants. So glad we picked this tour! Very satisfying and enjoyable!"
