This tour was a great enlightening experience, where you get a perspective of history and real life lived experience alongside it. Our guide Gerard had a significant amount to share, some old photos, lived stories and experiences over the past decades as well as a view of the future.

Our taxi driver was very knowledgeable and give the perspective from both sides, the area is very itself is smaller than you think. Have an open mind as the area has completely changed it’s all new house’s so you have to maybe use some imagination. Very good tour.
