1.00Don’t book this tour! We arrived and the tour cancelled because of lack of interest. Very frustrating and dissatisfied with poor customer service and last minute cancellation. Don’t book with them or you could be left abandoned in a foreign country. Viator should remove them, we will see if we get a refund!

3.00Alex was really good, he knew his stuff. But instead of a walking tour, it should be a standing tour. I expected a bit larger area to be covered.

5.00Leo was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. This tour was 3 hours compared to others that were only 1.5 hours. I am glad I did not book the shorter tour because this tour was more comprehensive especially with Leo’s additional stories. Thank you!
Very interesting , informative
