Our guide was great at explaining lots of different things about all the houses and families along with interesting facts. He also had a light on a stick which was a great help for us trying to find him in the crowds. The directions were great from Manhattan, the tube stop brought you right out at the bakery - which is closed in the evening but if you're early there's a McDonald's around the corner where you can go to the toilet and grab a coffee while you wait.
