5.00Loved this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable, had great stories and the walk was refreshing. Our tour was in the evening, it was great ambience to hear the stories as the moon glowed in the sky and all the buildings started to light up. If you go in the evening, take bug spray, the mosquitoes are ruthless, but the whole experience was worth it. Highly recommend!
Great fun!
