This was an excellent and informative tour...one of the best of the 60 or so tours I have taken through Viator Small group of 8-10. Jeff really knew his history and presented it in a really interesting and innovative way. He was also extremely personable and took the time to talk to and get to know every guest between stops as well as answer questions along the way. This tour covered everything. Highly recommend.

We go on lots of walking tours in different cities and covering different themes, and i can honestly say that this is one of the best i've ever been on. Jeff really knows his subject so well, and brought it to life with an engaging manner and interesting details. The photos, videos, and clever 'augmented reality' feature (where he was able to display historical photographs in the place we were now, and combine them with group photos of the tour group) were really cool, and really added to the experience. I really recommend this tour!
