My name is Helen. I love my city and I like to show it from a local viewpoint! My favourite places are unusual ones that are off the beaten track and are often missed by many visitors. I aim to show you these combined with the incredible history, culture and sights we have to offer
I keep my group sizes small which gives us plenty of time to talk! Sometimes I can even vary the route according to your interests or pick up a drink along the way..
I set up my company because during my travels I have been invited to homes all over the world so now I want to welcome visitors from everywhere to my own home town.
My other tours -"Historic Old City Tour" & "Grand Designs & Hidden Gems" are both shorter & cover different areas. I also run individual tours at a time and place to suit you!
Service animals allowed. Public transportation options are available nearby. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The walk is about 3 miles/ 5 km up and down with many steps so comfortable walking shoes are recommended!. If you would prefer to walk a shorter distance then my other tour "Historic Old City Tour" maybe more enjoyable! Please see our website for details or contact us directly.. Children must be accompanied by an adult
