A Personal and Engaging City Tour
Published on Jul, 2024
We had an amazing city tour with Chris! Our group had varying levels of English proficiency, but Chris was incredibly considerate and made sure everyone could follow along. He went into great detail about the city's history and culture, and his inclusion of witty facts made the tour both informative and entertaining. In just three hours, we covered so much ground and learned a lot. This tour was far more personal and engaging than a bus tour. Highly recommended!
