Small group tour with knowledgeable guide - Highly recommend. Small group tour with knowledgeable guide. Although we had lived close by for many years, we learned lots of new facts. Small group meant we could ask questions and hear everything! The group got on so well we went back to revisit the Northern quarter together!
