Gave a good overview of the highlights to see if you don’t have much time in the city. Thanks Sam for showing us around and giving us lots of places to revisit on our own with more time. Nice group to share it with too

2 hours that kept our interest the entire time. Good pace , clear loud voice, spelling out names, personal but not pushy with his commentary and suggestions Sam came across as a very sincere and friendly person. He works hard and is a credit to Guru Tours.
