A wonderful informative walk with Calvin - Enjoyed an excellent walking tour with Calvin. We had fun and learned a huge amount about the old city and WW2. I’ve done many walking tours around the world and Calvin was amongst the most passionate and friendly and knowledgeable I’ve had the pleasure of learning from. I’d give him 6 stars if that were possible. Cheers. Warren

Fun and interesting! - We had the best tour of the old city with Lucas. We leaned a lot about the history, architecture, and different important landmarks. All explained with care, humor and in an interesting manner. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn laugh and get all your questions answered.
