The walk leader was Chris who was excellent. The walk is around the walls near the river and other interesting buildings. Do not recommend if you have a buggy or struggle with steps. A pretty city and enjoyed the walk. I would recommend to do this walk in Spring or Summer.

Group too large, therefore, did not always understand the guide. City guide didn't wait until all the participants were there. He started his explanations beforehand.
A bad day with a low quality company

The guide never showed up and when I asked TripAdvisor for my money back and a free trip, they agreed to pay the money but provided no other compensation. I would not trust TripAdvisor to care for their clients.
