His presentation was interesting and engaging and was always willing to answer questions. He was passionate about his subject matter. We had stops for photos and explanations at all the relevant sites on the tour and as we were lucky enough to be the only two on this tour we covered ground in good time so were able to have a small detour for another stop we requested. An excellent trip, well worthwhile to see much of this beautiful city.”
