Guided us around and showed us little gems we probably wouldn’t have found our self, with story’s around the sites. We had a great time!

John was knowledgeable and delightful to spend a day with. He customized the tour for us. Coming off the cruise ship he met us at the dock and made sure we got back on time for sailing.

The best experience guided tour we had in a long time. John got in touch with us days ahead of out trip. We decided to do the tour on cycle which he helped us get. Loved the way he explained the history & present of the city. even my 6 year old enjoyed the trip.
