Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The walking tour was well paced. Because there were only two of us on this group tour there was lots of time for questions, answers and information on the best ways to travel to other points in the city that we wanted to visit.

Danny was outstanding. Knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining and a good dancer (kidding about him being a good dancer - though he may well be). This is an excellent tour which informs as well as allows one to get their bearings in an unfamiliar city.

Marie, our tour guide, was excellent. She kept us interested with local stories as well as the history. She talked about the art, food, and options to explore on our own. Loved every minute.
