Phil did a great job! He was personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend! Sneakers or comfortable shoes are a good idea. It’s mostly flat terrain though.

We really enjoyed our walking tour. Our tour guide Chris was super informative and gave us a great overview of the city. Good balance of culture, history, architecture and local facts. Really appreciated the extra tips too for places to visit & restaurants etc - they were spot on!! Having done many walking tours this is one of the best we’ve been on, and is fantastic value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone considering this!
