Erin was our tour guide, and was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour>> so it was great having it fulfill our needs. We enjoyed the tour, and having delicious pastries at Bretzel Bakery. We think 3 hours is too long for this tour. Our tour ended at the Irish-Jewish Museum. We were disappointed that it was closed, strangely enough because of door issues, and a locksmith had been called. Erin was very accommodating, and we enjoyed this tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and he followed up by sending additional information he knew we were interested in. Highly recommended.
