5.00Great tour and great guide! Our guide, Denis, was very knowledgeable and personable. We were traveling with two young children and wondered how they would do on a walking tour of this length. Denis did a great job of interspersing facts in his presentation aimed at our kids, and it kept them interested and engaged. I recommend doing this tour early in the trip to get your bearings.
Well worth it!

5.00We enjoyed learning so much about the city. We wouldn't have learned little tidbits that make for memorable facts. Great speed and direction. Kept us thinking, laughing, and moving. Great four our family with kids 17,15, and 11. Kids younger than that in our tour had a hard time keeping attention.
A very good tour
