I took the 1.5 hour walking tour with Dylan and had a great time! I didn't have a lot of spare time but wanted to fit a tour in if I could - this was the perfect way learn about the city and get some recommendations without using up much of the day. Dylan was very friendly and invited me to reach out if I had any further questions or curiosities during my stay. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone
