I’ve been popping into M’cr for shopping and socialising pretty much all my life but this tour shows a whole new side of the city. A very knowledgeable, friendly and obliging tour guide (thank you for waiting for our delayed arrival Ric). Really enjoyed the history and various points of interest covered. Would like to discover more now so will look to book one of your other tours in the not too distant future. Thanks again.
