Max is the “max” - Max was an outstanding guide! His English was so good that I actually thought he was British! He had an extensive knowledge of Old Town history and conveyed it with enthusiasm. Definitely worth it!

Big Tom Tour Triumph - I just did the old town tour with Big Tom. I’ll be honest, tours aren’t usually my thing and the length of it I wasn’t sure about it, until Tom got started! He was fantastic on the tour, I found it really engaging, interesting and Tom is really entertaining, you can tell he loves what he does, the 2 hours flew! I would happily do another tour with Tom! Thanks so much.
