    It goes smoothly, there is no hurry. At one corner the guide corrected a wrong route and explained it with grace.

    I loved how they related each street to specific scenes. One section was noisy, but bearable.

    Magical and educational route. When we talked about Greyfriars Cemetery, the group's excitement rose.
