Stan was the best! Had a great walk learning the history of the city. His knowledge is endless and answered anything we could come up with. He added in lots of art history and local culture. Can’t wait for our Jewish quarter tour with him on Monday.

Wendelin was the most wonderful guide! So informative, personal and fun! We felt like he truly made it a memorable experience! We’ve traveled a lot with private guides and he was one of the best.
