Summary:
We booked a private tour with Daniel. Straight away we connected with him. He is a natural teacher, knows his audience and was able to communicate the deep, rich history of the area. He clearly has a tremendous amount of knowledge of all the sights we visited, He is enthusiastic and funny and our teen boys loved him. We all did! He also helped us with finding things to do in the area on our own that we wouldn't have known about. Thank you Daniel!
