This tour was great. Lots of history, funny jokes, and our guide even recommended places for lunch after. After the tour, you can stay as long as you like to walk around and take photos.

The walking tour was wonderful despite the pouring rain. There were only two of us, so our guide Daniel was exclusively ours! Daniel was exceptional in conveying all the information to us in a passionate and knowledgeable way. A truly wonderful experience thanks to Daniel!
