History never dies - Gabriel has been very inspiring making the tour very professional and gripping, I truly enjoyed your approach to history the way he entertained us while never losing the historical orders of facts and never missing a detail. A very young just graduated and truly prepared competent and professional tourist guide who made us diving into history while answering every question.

Fun tour of a stunning city! - Totally loved the walking tour with Nigel! He was great fun and full of interesting facts! He took us on a beautiful tour of some amazing sights! Would highly recommend! In case it helps people work out if it would suit them, it was not a strenuous walk at all, but you are on your feet for the full 2 hours.

Fun & Informative - Richard did a great job explaining lots of history along the way and even came prepared with pictures and maps. He was very thorough and we even got to go inside Jesus College. He was a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide.

Fun & fascinating - My 81 year old Mum & I did the walking tour today and loved! Nigel was great fun! So many beautiful buildings with fascinating histories. I didn’t feel like we walked very far but we didn’t need to as it was all clear se by! Nigel was our tour guide and he kept a busy tour group interested for two hours with a wealth of diverse information & jokes. Loved it!

Terrible - They didn't send any mail or messages with any indication. There was no one at the door waiting. I couldn't take it. Terrible.
