The guide was well prepared for the city tour and put together an interesting and beautiful tour. We could linger if we wanted to and were constantly asked during the tour whether we wanted to see this or that. We were also shown tips and beautiful views and given ideas for the time afterwards.

Francis was fabulous. She offered incredible detail on all historical sites. She spoke perfect English and answered our questions willingly. She brought the past to life and made our walking time disappear with all the information and education.
