A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourKate was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about the city and its rich history. She made sure we saw everything we wanted to, even if it meant skipping a few of her original plans to do something we had just heard about our looked up. Not only was she a wealth of information but she was flexible, personable, and fun to be around. It felt like she was a fifth member of our traveling group rather than a guide. Overall we loved our experience with Tours by Locals and would definitely do it again.
