Highly recommend! Ronnie takes you to see places and meet people you otherwise wouldn’t meet. There’s also an interactive app which adds to the experience.

This tour was excellent! Couldn't be happier. Ronnie was so knowledgeable and he shared loads of great information. The sneak peak into a historic row home and impromptu visit to the backyard of a worker's cottage were extra special. We'll be doing more tours with Ronnie. Highly recommend!

Thanks, Lucy! It was so great to have you along and I'm glad you got to experience going inside the Hansen Mansion for the last time and also the garden tour! Such great people who own these lovely homes! I look forward to seeing you again!

Ronnie was the best tour guide. He was so knowledgeable so funny so kind enjoyed every moment of it. Would love to take another one of his tourist someday. The homes were gems and he was a gem
