Fantastic!

Published on Sep, 2024

My partner and I really enjoyed being tourists in our own city. Josh, our guide, was incredibly punny which I LOVE so, thank you Josh! He was very knowledgeable and super enthusiastic. We did the tour on Friday and by writing this 2 days later I can confidently say I have told everyone I know about this tour and how good it is. Being local I did know some of the stories but it was so great hearing someone else talk about them! Time absolutely flew over and I was smiling the whole time. What I will say about the tour is that, wear comfortable shoes and if your knees aren't great take your time going down on the stairs towards the end - there's a LOT of them.

Fantastic!

Very good. Josh was funny and very knowledgeable. As a person of impaired hearing he was very mindful of that. Time flew in and went over which we or Josh didn’t mind. Thanks Josh.

I had such a fantastic True Crime tour with Fran. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun and really brought the stories to life. The tour gave me a really good sense of what shaped the city and I loved seeing the hidden corners that I would never have found myself. Highly recommend!
