4.00A general overview and a very good walk. For a first time visitor I was expecting more depth on the history and points of interest. The guide was very good and very pleasant and answered my questions when asked.
Educational and fun

Crowded and busy venue with lots of walking on cobble stones

4.00Oscar was kind and knowledgeable. However, the venue was very crowded and one of the travellers fell with abrasions to his face and a couple out of the 10 in the group got disconnected from the group. Eventually they were found. Depending on the heat and the ability to walk on cobble stones and stairs, I would recommend the tour for the history and the review of the buildings that date back centuries with a knowledgeable guide.

4.00Enjoyed our walking tour with Oscar who was an excellent guide and very informative . It was a little confusing with timings as we thought that you went from the walk straight in to the catamaran but there was a 2 hour gap which tended to make it a long day . The catamaran trip was not really worth the wait as we just went out of the port a little way along the coast and back , there was no one giving information and a bit boring .
