Amazing tour guide, well educated and with high level knowledge. Well informed person with lots of stories to share

Great when you can hear the guide

Joseph_L, Feb 2025

Guide very knowledgeable. Provides history and many points of interest. Recommendations to guide : 1-start tour in a quieter area, entrance to gate was crowded with children, buses and other mega tour groups. 2- change to a personal loudspeaker or upgrade to better receivers and earphones, as there was a lot of static and noise.

Great walking tour

Alanna_D, Oct 2023

This was a great walking tour and our guide Nadine was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent overview of the history of the city and area. She was also very helpful in making suggestions of things to do in the area after the tour.

Let down

Jeff_C, Sep 2023

The guide was great,very informative without going over the top with facts and figures. The only downside was more than 15 people on the tour which was overcrowded so not enough headsets! My wife is deaf in one ear and didn’t get a headset so very disappointed
