Max is super friendly and willing to give you historical knowledge, fun facts and curiosities. You will be fascinated by everything you'll get the chance to see and discover with him (something Harry Potter related, too😉).
The tour was interesting the whole time and we really enjoyed it.
Thanks Max😍
This tour is a perfect length, and Max took us to famous sights as well as hidden spots that we never would have found on our own.
Many thanks to Max!
