Great tour of Zurich
Magdalena was our guide on Sunday. She was audible, approachable and clear in her information about chocolate, cheese and history as well as churches and monuments.
She kept the group together, showed printed information to demonstrate her concepts and had a very inclusive style.
I would highly recommend her.

Great walk with Santiago!
Great tour to get your bearings of the city, learn some history and see local key sites. Good pace to get your steps in. Santiago was very informative and didn’t run off at the end but help us and some others with ideas and directions. Also included was a good list of places to eat and other things to do.
