5.00Teresa was our tour guides. Always super friendly and knowledgeable. Answered all questions showed us and explained everything throughout the tour. At the end you can stay and further explore on your own. If you are looking for comprehensive good 2 hour tour this one is great. You should still plan for at least a couples hours on your own if not more. It’s a city hard to see it all in 2-3 hrs.
Great tour
