He told us so many stories from the time and showed us a lot that we would never have seen by ourselves. We came back with an understanding of the time. The one thing I didn't realise when booking was the long walk from the car park to the bob-sled track as I have limited mobility he left me at a gorgeous hotel for coffee whilst he and my husband went exploring for an hour. In my husband's words best tour ever.”

We loved this different view of the city compared to the throngs of tourists we shuffled across the bridge with earlier in the day. He was also so positive about the future of the country even given its complicated past and complex political issues today. What a great way to learn and start to understand another culture.”
