What our guests say
Oct 2025
Guide was friendly and shared lots of cool facts. Some parts were crowded but still fun. Bring water.

Went with my wife and teen son. Guide was friendly, tho sometimes hard to hear him with all the noise in the narrow streets. The history is EPIC and the colors in the market are wild—took way too many photos. Liked that the guide answered all my son’s weird questions (like who cleans the fountains). Slightly rushed at the end but still worth it.

Guide was a LEGEND. Took us to the best viewpoints, told us wild stories, helped us get good deals in the market. Would go again!

Cool tour, guide was super friendly. Bit too many shop stops for me, but the stories about the old city made up for it. Wear comfy shoes!
