Old Town in a nutshell. - A well presented old town tour that covered the history of the area and its’ buildings/people.
Alice was an excellent guide who responded well to questions in addition to passing along suggestions for an afternoon lunch or dinner.
Would highly recommend the tour which keeps the group to a small number. Only four of us on this particular two hour trip.

Mom & Daughter Trip - Norbert was the greatest tour guide! He was very informational and interacted with the group throughout all parts of the tour. Would love to go back and take more family since we are Swedish! My favorite part was seeing the little boy statue... find out what that means by going on this incredible tour!

Extremely well run, informative tour - One of the best history walking tours I’ve been on. Our guide (I believe Norbert) was knowledgeable, charming and I’d did great job of moving around a large group on a very busy day. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Great! - Great tour of old town - lots of facts and small group! Ended the tour with watching the change of the guard. The guide was also very nice and waited for me as I was running 5 mins late due to the metro

Great tour - My friend and I really enjoyed the tour! Norbert did a great job. He shared my passion for historic fire prevention techniques, which is not a common passion. Overall I highly recommend if you would like a brief, easily digestible historical tour. And ask for Norbert.

Okay, but not worth the price - Quick tour of the old town. Guide had some interesting anecdotes about the buildings and neighborhood, but was overall underwhelming. Was okay, but felt like it could have been a better experience for the price tag.
