Uncomplicated. The guide was experienced and left plenty of time for questions. We still had 15 minutes to look around ourselves afterwards, so if you don't like baroque, you don't need to come.

The tour was excellent. Unfortunately we were never picked up and we were waiting at 7:30 for a 7:45 pickup. Called US number and spoke with someone who transferred me to someone else who never answered. So not only were we out the extra for transportation- which I would expect you to refund- but also had to take a cab at the last minute in order to make the tour
