A fun and informative walking tour which included samples of ice cream and alcohol! Should note that it does not end where it begins and the walk back to the starting point is about 10 minutes. The entire tour is more like 2 1/2 hours. We mention this because we parked on the street and the maximum for the meter is only two hours!
