Awesome tour

5.00This tour was really good. Loved our tour guide. She was very sweet and knowledgeable. Loved the sites and history. As an FYI, the final portion of the tour is a lot of walking and it was hot so beware of that, especially with those who are elderly. We had a few. They survived but it was a bit difficult for them. Otherwise, would def recommend.

5.00Lisa gave a very good tour and provided a lot of history of the people and the area. We went to the White Tower, the statue of Alexander, Orthodox monastery, St. Demetrius Cathedral and other stops between. At each stop, a history of the city, people or culture was provided.
