Matt was great. The trip was fun and informative, and the bus was really nice with cold air-conditioning. There was enough time to walk around a bit at each place. Great day all around!

Brian our tour guide was amazing and made the tour super fun, interesting, and memorable. His charisma, knowledge, stories and fun personality made this tour all worth it.

Matt was an amazing guide, with a phenomenal understanding of everything from the art, the history, the culture and just about anything you can think of. He was really mindful of all the group, I saw him take time with everyone through out the tour and engage with everyone personally.

— Elizabeth

Loved this tour especially as we had an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide in Gregory. He was so good, even made my 6 year old involved with the information he was giving. Loved it and would definitely recommend the tour to anyone.

— Lyndsay

Matt is the best, and he has great photo hacks! Would recommend, it covers a lot of ground and lots of interesting facts.
