“Peter was absolutely brilliant, so engaging and full of facts. I just wish that I could remember everything! Probably the best guided tour that I've been on, the only problem was that 2 hours seemed to pass all too quickly. Peter couldn't keep doing these tours for the €3 fee, so remember to give him a decent tip. Even including a tip, this tour is a bargain. Thank you Peter!”

“Wow! We are so lucky to have had this tour. Having done free, large tours before we were a bit hesitant to do a small group one but it was by far a great decision. Pascal was one of the best tour guides that we have ever had in our travels- funny, knowledge and a storyteller. It informative and very interesting. I enjoyed that we got to walk to areas outside of the main tourist 'heart.' The only problem with the Pascal tour is that he has set the bar quite high for all future tours that we will go on!”
