My daughter (13) and I had a tour with Lea. The information was pitched perfectly and we could not have been happier. Lea was wonderful. I strongly advise any considering it to book this tour.

The tour guide was very informative about the area. It was a very cold evening but well worth doing. Highly recommend. Not much walking

Great tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We were very luck to have Stephanie as our tour guide. She guided us through the district while answering all our questions, and sharing with us very interesting bits of information about the culture and history of the neighborhood. We enjoyed it very much, and we had a great time. Highly recommend it.
