5.00Our tour guide was Mila and she was fantastic! We ended up having a private tour because of the rain others didn’t show up. The rain did not stop Mila from giving a wealth of information and interesting facts and secrets along the way. We were all engaging in the tour and conversation. It was an exceptional experience and we would highly recommend this tour! Mila’s knowledge about history was excellent. She knew answers to every question we asked and she was throughly enjoyable. Very friendly snd professional. We would love to have all our tours with Mila. Thank you for a remarkable day! Dana and Eric from New Jersey
