“What a great and fun tour. Phillip was so friendly and informative about the different building/art styles. It was great to walk around and see the very different types of art deco - some mixed with baroque influence others more modern etc. We got to stop for a coffee/toilet first those that needed. We took our coffee to the last stop - the English Garden for the spray painting activity. This was so much fun and I was a little nervous but Phillip made it so easy - could happily have carried on for another 2 hours!!”
