5.00Great Experience so much to see made easier by my tour guide Icy who helped with any questions and took pictures when I asked and made everything easy and comfortable as a solo traveller. Be prepared to do lots of walking but it’s worth it as so much to see and everything was well explained by Icy from the start to the end of the tour.
Excellent and informative tour

5.00We had a fun experience with Snow. Good stories about all the things we saw. Can recommend to not go by taxi to the meeting point, take the subway. We were way to late, but luckily Snow came back to pick us up!
All good:)
