Your Guided Walk

“My time is your time”

I take great pride in creating a wonderful and unique experience for all my guests.

In our initial communications, we will discuss your specific details (such as the number of people, age ranges etc) and any particular interests (such as historical period, architecture, etc.).

Each walk can be between 2 to 4 hours, depending on your wishes. A good start time for the morning is 10am and 1pm for the afternoon. All day walks usually run between 9:30am and 5pm with a break for lunch.
