Excellent tour well worth doing. Wade spoke very good English was entertaining, passionate and provided great information on the history and took us to some great food places that we would normally not have gone too. Highly recommended.

A very awesome tour. Wade was extremely knowledgeable and shared some personal stories about his 98 year old grandmother who lived through two wars. We visited a secret bunker which was super cool and he showed us the best spots to eat around town. He even took photos of us and sent them after the tour which I really appreciated. If you just got into the city this tour is a must. Thank you Wade!

The tour is good but I would avoid making it with Wade, I never had a tour guide that was so irritating. He HAD to have the last word about everything, he would ask us questions just to correct us, it was definitely a bit too much, it's a good lad but his over propagandist attitude was uncomfortable at times.
