This tour was so packed full of information, I cannot actually believe it was only 2 hours. Without feeling rushed, we went round different sights with Maggie. She is a fabulous storyteller, it all came to life and she was very considerate of our group as most of us were looking for shade on a very warm day. Maggie also gave us plenty of time for questions and honestly she made it a very special tour. Felt like I got to know the city instantly and gave us the confidence to go and explore more on our own. Thank you

Tina was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend her. My personal favorite part of the tour was the Memorial for the Jews. As a suggestion, I would make the tour longer with more time to stop at places along the way.
