    This was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on. Harris is a history expert about the region and I found him deeply knowledgeable about both historical facts and timelines but also cultural history and points of view. Just a wonderful and informative two hours to spend. He was thoughtful about the heat and kept us in the plentiful shade and air conditioned buildings on our trek. HIGHLY recommend this tour.

    We had such a great time with Peak, even with the bad weather today! Peak really personalised our tour to cater to our interests, and had loads of recommendations for other places we could see and to add to our list for the next time we visit. We really appreciated all of the historical information as well as the time and resources put into providing sources and citations for everything. They know the city so well, the two hours flew by and we really wish we had more time in the city to check out everything on their list. Thanks so much!

    The tour guide was pleasant, but she really gave us information overload on very mundane facts. I feel like we were in high school’s history class. History can be fascinating, but I don’t really give a sh!t when someone’s born, died, and who they married.

    That the original tour guide didn't show up. We recieved no call or notification that the guide was not coming. Only after 45 minutes of trying to get the Livery Tour people on the phone I finally called Viator. The spent about 15 minutes on the phone and finally found a tour guide that would take us on the historic tour. Mike arrived 45 minutes after we were to begin the tour and apologized for no one showing up. They called him in on his day off to do the tour for us. Mike was fantastic. I wouldn't book with Lvery tour again but I would.take a.tour with Mike again.
