Ask for Lorraine! - Our guide, Lorraine, was absolutely amazing! She was super knowledgeable about the history of the city and had answers to all our questions! The heather was very cold and rain, but that didn’t stop Lorraine from providing a fun and interesting tour. Our group of 6 strangers felt like old friends by the end of the tour because of our guide. She not only knew so much about the city, but she gave recommendations to pubs and restaurants in the area based on our likes and interests. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Especially if Lorraine is your guide!

Waste of time and money - Very unprofessional guide. She was friendly but talked too much about her self and with the other participants about everything but the subject of the tour.
