5.00Julie was beyond AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and she is the real deal. Book with her ASAP. There was not anyone with me so it turned out to be a solo private tour. I told her about my love for Chopin and she told me a lot of information about him. It was such a special experience. Job well done
My guide was wonderful!...
