“Had a great experience with a fantastic guide Phil who got everyone involved. We had briefly walked round the Ghetto on our own but felt we were missing out on information. So booked this last minute and was not disappointed. Phil was very informative and the extra bonus of him bringing photographs of how it used to be gave us a better insight rather than imagination. We would highly recommend this tour. Short but sweet!! But definitely worth the money. Thanks Phil we went to the old paint factory bar and had a lovely few drinks something we would have missed if it had not been for you. Stephen,Andrew &…”
