Walking in Paul’s footsteps - From the moment we got picked up at our apartment Nick was pleasant. He took the time to explain everything to us and allowed us time to take pictures and grab a bite. He showed us some extra points of interest which were awesome. Great tour. We would recommend to our friends.
