CoupleVerified bookingJun 20265/5Our host Polina was incredible! We loved how knowledgeable she was and made the whole experience really interesting and fun! It was a particularly hot day and she also made sure to stop often in shaded areas for breaks from the heat while continuing to explain the history, you could tell she really cared and was interested in her job and the people on the tour.. she even reccomended places to eat/drink and visit after the tours and we visited one of the places she recommended and had a great time! The places we got to see were fantastic, and we could not reccomend this tour more!CCoueron N
