We really enjoyed the tour; it helped us get a feel for the city and its history. The walking tour of the city center was especially fascinating. The guide, Claudia, was very witty and humorous. I would highly recommend you to my friends.

Very good combo, the tour bus isn't the most impressive. The cruise is really beautiful, I recommend it, especially in the evening (they didn't charge us extra in the end). The terms are very nice and pleasant.

Unfortunately, contrary to what was advertised, the boat ride wasn't included; instead, we had to pay for it separately, albeit at a discount. Unfortunately, this isn't made clear in your advertisement.

The roof wasn't open, so I couldn't see many of the monuments on the left—I was sitting on the right. There was a delay between the audio guide and the monuments.
