We have used Tours by Local many times and Miriem's tour was by far the best we have ever had. Her knowledge was very apparent and her willingness to share this information clearly was very useful. She was very personable and we enjoyed our time with her very much. We would highly recommend attending her tour.

Miriam is very knowledgeable and explained the history of the church.
