Our fantastic guide was David Charnick and we got so lucky to have him. He was a wealth of knowledge with really fun and interesting stories about the places and things he was showing us. I don’t know how he gave so much information over 4 hours on one bottle of water but he did and I have the feeling could do it for 4 more hours. The tour was one of the best parts of our trip and even the sullen teens in our group were entranced.
