Ash was such a lovely guide and it was fun with him to walk. He provided us with good information, not too much and to deep but funny and interesting. The way he talks is very pleasant and after the tour he gave a lot of information where to go for a drink, food and what else to do. So we highly recommend this walking tour with him.

Ash was wonderful! I'm not that into history so I was surprised how interesting I found this tour, he included lots of interesting historical tidbits and TONS of recommendations! It was only me and one other guy (who was also very nice) so it felt like a private tour.
