5.00We took a WW2 tour with Evan. We are history buffs but we learned a lot from Evan. He welcomed questions and took us to hidden places we would never find on our own.

5.00Sarah was so knowledgeable about what happened in World War II and what the Germans done to fool the British and showed me all the monuments and the bomb shelter. It was a very impressive tour and I learned a lot. I wish I could’ve take notes. She is definitely the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Sarah is great she earned her money.
