Excellent Guide - although I was the only person he never rushed and I am confident he never missed out anything on this tour - and to me it was exciting as we used both trams and bus’s to get there and back The guide gave me instructions on how to get to my next tour using the trams by myself this included me changing from on number to another - but it worked perfectly and I was on time for my next tour

The tour was amazingly informative, and the guide, Babel. He was not only thorough but answered every question, even some that had little to do with area. My wife and I are both some what handicapped and he was very patient with us and took his time to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. A very good guide. Deserving of the tip we gave him and much more. By far one of the best tour guide we’ve ever had!!!
