Nice city tour with reasonable pace to absorb all of the city history. Well organized and planned. Small group approach made tour even more enjoyable.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! I'm glad you appreciated the pace. I try hard to see as much of the city as possible while still enjoying our time. Since it's always a small group, there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to see what they need to see. Cheers -Eric
