Josh was an amazing guide! He was so easy to listen to, and answered all questions we came up with. He was friendly, fun, and has amazing knowledge! From all of the city tours that we joined so far, this one was by far the best! Not a single moment of drifting off with our thoughts, as he managed to keep us constantly entertained and interest in places and their stories. Poor future guides of ours - Josh made their job very difficult now.

A very interesting tour by our friendly, knowledgeable guide. We had difficulty finding the start point of the tour due to the vague instructions and there was no response on the given help phone number. Hence 3 stars rather than 5.
