    Having seen large tour groups in cities where it appears that most cannot see or hear the guide, I really liked that this was a small group tour. Sarah was clear where we should meet and followed this up a couple of hours before the tour began to ensure we knew where we were going. We are a family of 4, and there were 8 people in our tour group. Sarah learned all our names and engaged our history-loving teen in discussion. She took us around parts of the city we otherwise wouldn't have seen and gave a good-level of detail, so that those of us who know a bit of the appropriate histories beforehand and those of us who did not, all enjoyed the tour. She also gave some recommendations, which we happily followed up the next day.
