Joachim was a star - Enthusiastic from his first word. Cheerful, full of knowledge, happy chappy. I've been before and still found out stuff I didn't know. Highly recommend and actually recommend trying to get this guy. The fact he is a history student probably helped loads. Great tour. Well worth it.
