Our tour guide, Peter,... - Our tour guide, Peter, was very informative and made the tour relatable to us based on our background and interests. What I appreciated was the pictures he provided of particular landmarks in relation to the tour; the fun facts and which chapels/libraries/ museums we could visit thereafter.

A great way to learn about the city in a short amount of time - Peter was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We learned some interesting facts and he pointed out things that we would never have noticed. He even threw in a ghost story or two!
