“Leslie is the best. I'm almost certain he's a walking encyclopedia. I've never learned so much history about a place as I did with him and I love it!, you can see the love he has for what he does, not to mention his great sense of humor. As for the tour itself, it was excellent; all the stops are 100% recommended, and I think the time allotted for each stop is perfect. On the way back, he was incredibly kind and dropped us off at a stop much closer to our accommodation. I definitely recommend this tour—100 out of 10.”
