“There was no way we could have seen all these houses on our own, there were too many different streets. 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.
