“A Must in order to truly understand Salamanca” - Wonderful tour and history of Salamanca and surrounding area. Our guide had many anecdotal stories as well as historical ones concerning our sites. He was thoroughly enjoyable and the tour seemed to fly by.

Excellent tour/ Salamanca walk with Peter Lutz - We had an excellent tour of the older city areas of Hobart with a very knowledgeable guide, Peter Lutz. We learned about how this community started, who lived here, what they were doing for a living, how difficult life was. Loved his passion for this city’s history/ culture. Thank you very much Peter!

Don’t use Viator - I never received the email stating the exact meeting place. Searched for half an hour, asked all local shop keepers. Never found it. Communication was non existent and I blame Viator. I had the same experience with this company in Rome
