This tour was small, and personalized! I got to hear and experience history in a way that could not have happened with a larger group! Highly recommend

We booked a tour as part of a professional development social outing — and it didn’t disappoint! Our group had a wonderful time exploring Old City and learning some really interesting facts about some inspiring (and under-recognized!) individuals. Our tour guide Joey was the consummate professional— knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He was a masterful storyteller who made the tour engaging and fun! We all had a blast and would highly recommend the tour to others.

The tour was first rate. Rebecca was a fount of knowledge - things we had never known about - but also very approachable and personable. It was all that we had hoped for - everyone enjoyed themselves.
