Dive in to local history… - Adam was high energy, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. If you are a history buff or just like to hear how this all became what it is today you are in for a treat. Encouraged and answered every question, and added little known context, people and occurrences that gave the experience real substance. Great storyteller. Highly recommended.

Historical learning experience - We learned so much about the history of this beautiful city. It was a beautiful day and we leisurely walked through the city and our guide pointed out many interesting things we would have simply walked by without noticing. Highly recommend this tour and guide!
