Sarah's tour has been one of the best, more entertaining and interesting tours I've been in Europe. She not only focuses on traditional highlights, but really cares about sharing the good, fun and hard history of the city. You would be very lucky to have her as your tour guide. Thank you Sarah.

Fantastic tour by Jen, she really knows her history and is a great storyteller. I was captivated from start to finish, from ghost bagpipers and gruesome plague realities that aren’t that far from our own Covid experiences to grave robbers and evil kings (James VI) she told it all with humour and humility. THANK YOU JEN! - Emma, Melbourne
