Thom certainly knows his history and explains it in a very interesting and clear manner. The walk is leisurely and very easy. We had a wonderful time, and Thom even gave us a good recommendation for lunch.

This was such a worthwhile two hours with Thom, who is perfect to lead this kind of tour. We actually travel extensively and have been able to enjoy many types of tours in many different countries. Thom's approach is relaxed, fun, funny and informative. Even though we grew up in California, he had so much to offer that we never... More
