5.00The streets are super narrow and all made of old stones, so wear good shoes or your feet will hurt. Our guide told us some crazy stories about ghosts and old kings that lived in the big palace. We saw the smallest statue I ever seen and had a nice coffee with a big cinnamon bun at the end.
Very pleasant experience

5.00Christian was a wonderful guide. We ended up being the only people on this tour and the fact that the company didn’t cancel speaks volumes. Christian had a book full of pictures and k formation. Which enhanced the tour. It was great!
With Christhian again and again
