5.00We took the tour with Dale last Saturday. Looking at the Jewish Quarter and Ghetto without any guide at all you may pick up 10% of the fascinating stories, with a guide obviously much more, but Dale is next level. The layering of information and context delivered in an easily understandable and wonderfully engaging way. I have been fortunate enough to have been guided all over the world and Dale is as good as there is.
Very interesting
