Great informative tour

Lafayette was informative, entertaining and attentive to our small group of 5. As a Scottish native who previously lived in Edinburgh we learned new tidbits of gore related history. Well done. Best wishes for the wedding.

Incredible Guide

Hello from the Montreal couple going to Philosophy Conferences. Lafayette was an incredible host, guide, and a friend during our tour. He provided us with expert historical knowledge and provided us with laughs, but also took time to get to know us. Thanks for the amazing experience Lafayette.
