4.00It was nice, our tour guide Sophie was great. We learned a lot, and she did a very good job, but I think it is a bit overpriced. If I had to do it over again I would have gone with a small group tour instead of a personal one. Or for what you are paying, they should include the historical pass (which was only 42 Euros) and that way you could go into all the places not just look at them from the outside.
Highly recommend Martin’s tour
