Friendly guide with lots of insights - Tamara was excellent with taking us around the gothic quarter and jewish quarter. Her knowledge of history and architecture clued us in on the evoking nature of the city. We later used her suggestions to grab a fantastic bite to eat. I’m glad to have booked this tour.

Wow! Better than expected for the price - We booked this tour last minute mostly due to timing and price. Sara and this tour greatly exceeded our expectations! She was very interesting and knowledgeable. She answered all questions. She kept all guests involved and made sure no stragglers were left behind. I was excited to learn about so many historical sites and fun facts accompanying them. She even offered restaurant recommendations after - dinner was also amazing! Well done Sara! Highly recommend Sara and this tour. Sara also told us that this company offers tours in other cities/countries. Since we are on the first leg of our trip, we will see if you have another soon!

Walk in the Gothic quarter - The whole walk was exhilarating. Rolene, our guide was fabulous. She was quite informative, eloquent and quite comprehensble to a foreigners like us. I enjoyed every minute of the two hours we had with her. I wish to give this tour 5 stars, but the stars don't get filled due to some glitch.
